Red Hat is very interested in what breaks for the common user of their Linux products and whether or not a fix works and does not cause further problems.  

It's on a different scale though and different kinds of issues are expected.
Fedora releases are supposed to work. Some of the new technology make work
in the sense of not having an unusually high number of bugs, but have issues
with usability or other things.

Really, where to you see that recommendation?
Fedora releases are not supposed to have data loss bugs.
The reason many people (inluding myself) don't recommend it for servers
(production or not) is that it's too much work to maintain because of
the rapid release cycle, not because it doesn't work. That said, I do run
it on my personal servers because computing is a hobby and I am willing to
do the work needed.
