Uh, we do, or more specifically they align their schedule to our releases most 
often.

Already stated why this is a very bad idea.  You get a '2' in the name, and 
you get to look at all your broken extensions.  Not fun.

Decision made by the maintainer.

FC4 is well Legacy now, and even at the time, it isn't desireable to make a 
huge update to that old of a release.  (you were talking about the timeframe 
where FC5 was live, FC6 was in development, and FC4 was still getting some 
updates?)  Personally I want to see a more formal update policy.  Current 
release gets lots of updates maybe some version bumps for things like 
KDE/Gnome.  N-1 gets less updates, more just bugfixes.  N-2 and 3 are 
security only handled through the Fedora security team.
