Speaking about myself: because Fedora change too often. Lets take last 3 
Debian releases (etch, lenny, squeeze) and you are in year 2007. For the 
same range you have eleven Fedora releases. That is too much. I can keep 
only 3-5 last releases in my poor head.
So while I can distinguish age of Etch and Lenny, I could not do that 
for Moonshine and Sulphur. But I can do that for Fedora 7 and Fedora 9.
