+1, the frequent updates are one of Fedora's strengths (see also the "First" 
principle). Fewer updates mean fewer bugfixes and thus more bugs!

+1 to that, and (ergo) -1 to app-store-like or OS-X-dmg-like applications 
which bundle the world. Throwing out decades of work on dependency 
resolution and going back to bundling with all its problems 
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries) is not 
acceptable.
