You just described the UnionFS concept ;-)
  http://www.filesystems.org/project-unionfs.html

While it's actively developed (upto 2.6.34), it's not in (official)
upstream kernel and as a result, not included in fedora.
[it's used by Knoppix for a log time]

Alternatively, there's a fuse (Filesystem-in-USErspace) implementation:
  http://podgorny.cz/moin/UnionFsFuse

It isn't packaged for fedora, but maybe someone (you?) may want to do it.
I found old packages on Dag Wieers and Dries repositories which may
help you as a starting point:
  http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/fuse-unionfs/
  http://dries.studentenweb.org/rpm/packages/fuse-unionfs/info.html

Unionfs-1.x is from 2004-2006. Maybe they borrowed it ;-)
