I think it is really a side effect of splitting the RH enterprise
version and Fedora development into two different things.   New
development now all comes from the Fedora side where they just want
change and don't care about stability.  That's probably a good thing
for desktop users since the desktop environment hasn't historically
been that great, but the server side has been relatively complete for
ages and businesses really don't want to have to rewrite all their
applications and deployment processes for every new release.   Back in
the old days it would have been the same group contributing new
development and consuming the final product so the direction might
have been better aligned.
