I would second that.

If you really are more interested in a stable platform with only important 
security updates, then really Fedora isn't for you. Fedora stays as close to 
upstream as possible and frequently, in fact most often I would say, updates 
are not security related and just package updates. Occasionally things get 
broken by this fast turn over.

It sounds like you should look at more stable distro like centos or scientific 
linux (free RHEL clones without the service agreements) as perhaps being more 
suitable to your needs. SL5 is now out, and whilst not quite as new and funky 
as Fedora7, still fairly up to date.
