Well, if I want a stable system I'm likely not using Fedora.
But how do you get 'your' components developed to match the system
without one or the other lagging far behind?
The Fedora project was clearly declared a "cutting-edge" so don't expect
100% stability or compatibility.
That's not a problem in early development of your 'next' version. The
problem is that there is no longer a graceful way to get from that
bleeding edge you wanted to test to the final version you want to keep
running until the next major change.
My last DNS was running on OpenBSD 2.1 for over 7 years, with a short
downtime to swap a disk.
Upgrading DNS - or not - isn't a problem since it doesn't involve
anything particularly version-specific. Try something like a complex
web site in mod_perl or java where you don't want to stay too far behind
the new features but you also have to work around incompatibilities at
version upgrades.
