Yes, making changes markets the new release. Not changing it, helps
market the Fedora brand, as people will recognize Fedora when they see 
it regardless
of what release it is.

High quality have been enough to promote e.g. Ubuntu. I think you have too
little faith in that Fedora developers will be able to provide the 
novelties and increase
in polish of each new release to make people upgrade.
