Don't confuse loud for popular. I'm a firm believer in the silent
majority concept.

fedoralegacy.org exists, perhaps for you it will fill the gap.  

Considering how fast development on several largish projects is moving
like gnome or mozilla, the 6 month time scale for a distribution
release makes some sense...to push development forward and to work on
the larger integration issues at a distribution level. I think people
who want to make comparisons between how Debian and Fedora are
structured underestimate the importantance of (not) having a time
based release schedule as a driving factor in how things get done.
