Fedora tries to stay very close to current software development.  That 
means you get the new features as well as the new bugs.  On a desktop or 
as a second, non-critical machine that is a reasonable tradeoff, 
especially if you use the applications where the new features matter. 
This thread is mostly about servers where downtime is to be avoided at 
(almost) any cost and you want things to keep working for years.  It 
isn't about fedora being inherently bad, it just isn't suitable for some 
uses.
