Because, like me, he chose Fedora *because* of the stream of updates, we
*want* those updates, including version upgrades. We would be using Ubuntu
or CentOS or any of the other bazillion conservative distros otherwise.

A distro with a 6-month release cycle, but conservative updates, already
exists, it's called Ubuntu, why do we need to copy it? If you want Ubuntu,
go use Ubuntu.
