This situation seems to be reflected in the Fedora project itself. Guess, how many Fedora infrastructure servers are run under the latest "stable" Fedora release?
Almost none. The reason is simple - the Fedora project does not have infinite resources, the most important of which is time. As can be seen from the recent intrusion, completely rebuilding the infrastructure takes a lot of time and causes a lot of pain. It's a better use of human resources to use RHEL in the Fedora Infrastructure so we don't have to be continually rebuilding systems
I would prefer that Fedora would be stable enough, thus does not require "continually rebuilding systems" ;)
When the infrastructure of some distribution use this distribution immediately, the quality of the distribution is compelled to be much higher. In other words, when you create a bug, it is much better when this bug strikes your head at the same time, rather than someone will report it in bugzilla, where it will be delayed for a long time...
