I understand that.  What I don't understand is what Fedora is
supposedly doing wrong.

It's not uncommon to see various people denigrating Fedora because it
supposedly does something improper and breaks some piece of software.
Generally this is because of the fast pace of development and because
Fedora tends to pick up new bits like kernels and gcc releases before
other distros.  But occasionally you see the blather that was in the
previously linked forum thread, where Fedora is denigrated for doing
something, but nobody bothers to indicate just what it is doing or why
it is wrong.

I gather that someone wants the FC6 kernel to somehow identify itself
as 2.6.20, even though it's not 2.6.20.  It's a reasonable point of
discussion when the topic is the release candidates, but here we're
talking about 2.6.19 + bugfixes.
