I don't know who is telling that, but people at Red Hat for sure do not.
We think of Fedora as the upstream for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Well, Ubuntu isn't anything better in that regard. That's what
development is for IMHO. If you are looking for a rock-solid, stable OS
with support - Red Hat has a subscription for that ;-)

Fedora is fast moving, sometimes more experimental as others, brave to
try where others discuss, based on technical advancement.

Progress, stability, free - pick two, getting all is a real problem ...

You want progress and free? --> Fedora
You want Stability and free? --> CentOS
You want Stability and Progress? --> Red Hat Enterpise Linux

At least IMHO
