Yes, this is "by design". Look at the Fedora website 
(http://fedora.redhat.com/) where it states there will be 2-3 releases 
per year. And that's not counting the updates. Fedora is a leading-edge 
distribution and the updates come along frequently.

People wanting longer release cycles like this would be better off with 
the "enterprise" style distributions like Red Hat Enterprise Linux and 
its clones.

Windows 98 support from Microsoft ended in June 2002; see
