I would prefer that Fedora would be stable enough, thus does not require 
"continually rebuilding systems" ;)

When the infrastructure of some distribution use this distribution 
immediately, the quality of the distribution is compelled to be much 
higher. In other words, when you create a bug, it is much better when 
this bug strikes your head at the same time, rather than someone will 
report it in bugzilla, where it will be delayed for a long time...
