I there are too many updates, and sometimes they crash something. I remember while using Fedora 10, after disappointment with F9, after an update, the sound stopped to work. I didn't like the idea of Thunderbird beta in F 12. Also, the external drives are mounted using the uuid(?) name, so instead of /media/disk, appears something like /media/88299233ddd22, which breaks my backup/recover script. And a few other thinks. My general option was that the experience wasn't good, or put in another way, Ubuntu works better.
Uuid doesn't look like something I'd like to see anywhere soon on my systems... I'll look into that though. I'd like to know the point with it.
What happens when you mount 2 otherwise identical disks/filesystems? As might happen if you take a disk from a default install and mount it into another similar system? I haven't tried with a recent fedora version, but I'd guess it still won't work if you have the default LVM volume id from an install - they've gotten this wrong with every label/id approach so far.
Even people who are 'no-tech' types as far as Linux goes may want to swap drives around and copy some old data or at least look at the contents before reusing a drive.
