Because the decision was explicitly made when the Fedora project started to do releases at regular intervals rather than based on feature-driven milestones. This is the model Gnome has used with a good bit of success. It avoids the Debian "work on it for three years until it's perfect" syndrome, because as this thread is already showing, everyone wants "just a little bit longer" to get their pet feature just right.
