Fedora does time based releases.  All the version number means is that a
release is approximately six months newer than the last release.

Any time you are rapidly adding new technologies into a distro there will
be some growing pains.  Some releases have big changes, some have little
changes, it just depends on how the upstream releases fall into the
schedule.
