I'm not sure about this comment, given what Dave Jones said....

I otherwise agree with the above -- as an end user, I appreciate the current 
pace of development, and when I need stability I use MEPIS or PCLinuxOS, both 
of which I run extensively in situations where I care more about long-term 
stability than latest features. Let it be said that there is also 'strong' 
sentiment to keep things in Fedora-land as they are...
