However, be aware that Fedora tries to be on a six month or shorter release cycle. Fedora is basically a 'wide beta' for RedHat and that is also stated on the Project's web page.
Where is that stated?
It isn't stated in those terms, but it is an accepted representation of the status quo.
Not universally. There is a difference between being a beta and being an early show case of new technologies.
As for 'stable', that depends on what the original poster meant by that. If he meant a release that he could run on for several years without a major upgrade, then no version of Fedora is stable. If he meant a version where things are expected to work, then Fedora might be suitable.
For me, software that does not change much over the years is a very boring prospect :) :)
