I agree very much with your sentiment. On our servers we run
Scientific Linux. The desktops run Fedora.
The servers are great, but admittedly we use a much smaller set of
software. With the desktops, its either do updates frequently or do
them 500 at a time. I'd be a lot happier if the kernel was updated
less frequently (like with the server.)
Right now, I think the happy medium might be with the latest SL, and a
few applications like Firefox and Thunderbird compiled by hand in
/usr/local/...
