Fedora isn't about a stable platform though.  Things churn even within a 
release.  A fedora release is more of a snapshot + some cleaning up to make 
an installable release.  Generally new packages are not added, and we'll keep 
binary compatibility, but things can and do churn, like kernels, or X.  We're 
not providing a stable application platform, that would be RHEL's job.  We're 
providing something different.
