* you use it if you do not need new features over the lifecycle
For which use cases can you predict that you will be fine with the same
software for the next ten years?
Which changes require new releases and which do not.
Would someone be kind enough to give me
examples of each between F14 and F19?
Why were new releases required?
Updates to an existing release follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy. Libraries that require a ABI change generally aren't pushed as updates. Major changes such as the new installer, switch to systemd init system, major new versions of GNOME etc are only introduced in a new release. The general idea is to strike to a balance between providing new features to end users vs not being disruptive.
