Go through the fedora mail list archives and note how the system 
stabilizes and complaints stop a few months before a new RHEL release. 
Then compare the program versions in the RHEL release to what fedora 
users were running.  You'll find a couple of surprises out of the 
thousands of packages.  RHEL4 including mysql5 would be a notable 
difference to the FC3 contemporary; adding the Sun jdk to RHEL4/5 
updates after the release would be another.  And look at the problems 
mentioned on the mail list as major changes begin again in the following 
fedora version.
