You want fedora to not be a moving target? I don't think that's
practical on a distribution with a goal of 'rapid progress':

Perhaps you should look at one of the 'Enterprise' distos instead, like
RHEL or a free clone like Centos. Even with those you can expect
several updates over the course of a year although they almost never
change expected behavior.
