Yes, definitely an over-statement, for which I apologise.  All the same, if we 
insist on using a bleeding edge distro it is to be expected that things will 
break from time to time.  The truth is that it works most of the time, and if 
we can't live with the rest, then maybe Fedora is not the best distro to use.  
It really is a matter of choice.
