I agree. Fedora is a weird case where reality is better than perception.

Has anyone on the Fedora project considered making one stable Fedora
release every three or four releases? You could promote the release as
having:

* Stable desktop and servers
* Three years of security updates
* Branding program with hardware manufacturers

I think you could bring back a lot of the independent consultants who
went to CentOS or elsewhere after the transition from Red Hat Linux. It
could also quiet people who say cutting-edge = never-better-than-beta.
