I agree with Harald here. I think some people have always wanted it to be,
but Fedora never really has been chartered to be "bleeding". To quote the
"first" foundation more fully:

  First represents our commitment to innovation. We are not content to let
  others do all the heavy lifting on our behalf; we provide the latest in
  stable and robust, useful, and powerful free software in our Fedora
  distribution.

Note "latest in stable and robust", not "latest bleeding edge". There is
supposed to be a balance here.
