I've never found Fedora to be too terribly unstable when I've used it.  You
may have a choice to make, use Firefox and Chromium (since Johnny is
awesome and packages it for EL6) on CentOS or reinstall Fedora and have
access to a larger selection of bleeding-edge software.

And although slightly hokey, you could always have CentOS on bare metal and
Fedora in a VM for the days where you feel like running Arora or Midori,
etc.

Third party repo, if the packages exist.

Slightly OT, I believe Kazehakase is a dead project [0] [1].

As John Pierce said, these packages are something EPEL or another
third-party repo would package and provide.
