Well, not the "bleeding-edge" literally.

An environment, which is considered stable, can be "untypical". Ie. 
"untypical production stable environment".

All the years RHL/Fedora is used at my work, we was compelled (from time 
to time) to even port some future versions/features of N+1 distro to the 
current N distro. Because the features required for our "untypical" 
environment have appeared somewhere closer to the bleeding-edge...
