For what its worth, its not as simple as you are making out.

For me, the latest kernel actually fixed USB mounting - I now get it 
automatically whereas before I didn't. I use KDE, maybe thats important ?

Also what makes you think anyone owes it to you to test *your* hardware 
for you before releasing updates - Fedora isn't RHEL you know, no 
support guarantees etc. I suggest you take a look at the testing mailing 
list / repos to see how hard the testers do work. Still bugs will still 
get through in a bleeding edge distro like Fedora. Either make an effort 
and do the testing yourself and provide feedback, or use a more stable 
distro, like a RHEL derived work (centos... etc.)
