I think it is partly a time and priority issue. In the past there was a lot
of point of maintaining a stable anaconda since it would have little use.
Doing that would take time away from work on the development version. So
it didn't seem to be a good trade off.

Nowadays I'd like to see that rethought. There is more emphasis on people
doing custom spins (since livecd-creator makes it easy) and I think anaconda
fixes for stable releases have a lot more value now than they did in the past.
However, I am not sure what the resource situation is. The anaconda guys
seem to have been doing a lot of scrambling to get ready for F11. And there
appears to be a lot of work on anaconda being done for F12.
