Basically because it doesn't have enough detail.  It doesn't tell us what 
versions of the particular software you need (feature requirements).  Nor, 
does it go into any details about the rumor.  So, that leaves everyone free 
to determine what the rumor is and base their responses on their interpretation.

Also, the term "stability" is subject to interpretation as well.

Then there is the life cycle question.  Is Fedora really right for this 
project?  Will the relatively quick release cycles for Fedora and the 
subsequent lack of updates present a problem in the future?

And on, and on.
