It's my personal opinion based on what I would assume to be common

End-users are expecting function and bugs they are suffering from to be
fixed, ASAP - Nothing else.

perspective, this aspect is widely negligible.

As I see it, in practice in Fedora, these conflict, because rawhide
tries to be dev-focused (and end-user unstable), while Fedora N is
end-user focused.
