This is because release time is (currently) the only period when Fedora is vigorously tested (for release validation). After release, packages of course need to go through Bodhi, but they're tested individually (if at all...) and then go into stable without any kind of holistic systems testing. As a result, small incompatibilities grow up over time. Yes, Fedora has gotten a lot better about this over the years and our releases don't become *unstable* in general. But the idea that they become *more* stable over time is an outright lie :)
