The difference is that RHEL (the sources that Centos recompiles) cares 
enough about their user base to maintain a stable kernel interface for 
the life of the distribution version - which is much longer than 
fedora's.  The down side is that applications don't get version upgrades 
as the distro version ages, just security and bugfix updates.

I have more than one machine, so I track fedora  on a box that I can 
afford to have fail to boot on occasion to know what to expect from the 
next RHEL/Centos.
