It's my understanding that Fedora's primary role is to evaluate and explore

Ubuntu not to break. I expect Fedora to break. Oddly, in my own experience,
they both break about the same amount.
i expect NO DISTRIBUTION to break
I don't think meeting that criterion is part of Fedora's objectives, any
more than it is part of Debian Sid's objectives. People may or may not
agree that Fedora follows an appropriate development path, but it seems
obvious that pushing the edges is antithetical to producing a rock-solid
distribution.
Fedora 18 with Gnome Shell has been pretty good for me. Can I say that
about every Fedora release? No. There was a release, for instance, that
I couldn't install. So, if this F18 installation goes up in smoke, I'll
move on, no hard feelings. And, certainly, if I was doing anything that
*had* to be break-free, I wouldn't be using Fedora. I'd most likely (go
back) to using CentOS.
