Even when updating stuff that is mostly compatible you need to worry
about config file changes that don't get merged with local changes
properly on updates automatically.
I use Fedora as a hobby server (for email, dns and a tiny database backed
web server). It gets me new and shiny. (I use branched pretty shortly
after branching unless I know there are problems.) I like having Fedora
on as much of my machines as possible. (I use openwrt on some consumer
routers, and a Fedora remix on an XO, but my desktops all use Fedora.)
This gives me a pretty similar environment across the my machines.
