Maybe the following is helpful?

http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora

There are 177 packages compared, and you can ask for "major package
comparison" (54 packages) only. The definition of major packages is of
course distrowatch specific, but will mostly cover all you're asking
for, e.g. will give you the rough idea of what major components have
been touched from release to release.
