I really don't like the phrase "Cutting edge." That means it's going to
hurt you. I've been using Fedora since 2004 and it really hasn't ever
hurt me. "Leading edge" is probably a better phrase, but TBH I do think
Fedora is perfectly stable. This is probably a discussion best conducted
on the advisory-board list than here.
