Fedora 13 is the most recent release.

The correct answer is that Fedora is _never_ stable. If you want 
stability, you need to go with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It has been 
said often that using Fedora where stability is required is a mistake. 
You need only to track updates for a while to be convinced of that.

Now, I have been using Fedora for ever. I've had few problems, and 
none that have not been fined in due corse. YMMV,

For future reference, the front page of http://fedoraproject.org/ is
usually a good clue :-)

If you mean like how Debian classifies its releases?  Then I don't think Fedora ever reaches "Stable".  It is really a cutting edge test bed for new features and code for RHEL and not a general use Linux Desktop OS.  We as users are the testers.  Some here have said that Fedora releases are really advanced betas, but I think that's incorrect.  Being a beta implies development toward a stable release, but Fedora never reaches finality nor is it intended to.  13 months after a particular version's release, development and support on it is abandoned in favor of newer versions.  IMO, Fedora releases, regardless of the version, are forever stuck in an advanced "Testing" state somewhere between Beta and Stable, a Gamma, if you will.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS and Scientfic Linux are what I would regard as "Stable".
