There is some truth in your statement re work however
its easy to have separate partitions for each release
as small as 20GB is OK, then on a 500GB disk you can keep
20 previous releases and boot them as required!

/home, /global, ... on a Centos 5.4 server gives you the stability
you desire.

Yes I had problems with F12 nvidia and a few other things
but in general Fedora supports the latest hardware and is almost
always running smoothly in pretty quick time.

The amount of effort put into each release always amazes me.

If real stability was your aim then you wouldn't be using Fedora !

I beg to differ - out of all the distros I've tried, and am still trying being a distro hopper, I've found overall Fedora to be the most stable when using the latest release (without anything such as testing, rawhide or similar enabled on any, where available)
Debian comes a close second, but only until you move up to Squeeze/Sid which is when the trouble starts for me. Fedora is more stable than that.
