That's actually really hard.  Every cutting-edge feature one person
wants is superfluous and risky to a different person.  If you want an
update of foo to the latest version, it's likely to break someone else
that was perfectly happy with the current version.  There's a reason
why CentOS, RHEL, and even Ubuntu LTS aren't really targeted at
cutting edge feature work.  A Fedora LTS would run into all the same
problems.

That being said, there *are* opportunities to provide that on CentOS
Stream (or RHEL).  We have EPEL, we have modularity, etc.  If the OS
itself isn't providing the features you need, we have projects that
can fill those gaps while leaving the OS itself at the solid, stable
base it needs to be.  One thing I'm excited to see is CentOS Stream
SIGs that take Stream and build out features in a more comprehensive
(or even invasive) way to meet some of those use cases.
