Where do you get this idea from?
Fedora 1 Core is supposed to be a stable, well tested release, built on
the base of RedHat's earlier stable releases.

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/
> Read the release notes carefully!!
I don't consider "It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products." to be making any comment on stability or tested-ness, merely the project's 'openness to new packages/technology'.
Then read http://www.redhat.com/solutions/migration/rhl/.
And your point is?
The only thing I can find that even hints that Fedora might be less than fully baked is in http://www.redhat.com/software/rhelorfedora/ where they refer to one of the "primary benefits" of Fedora as "Bleeding edge technology". Even that doesn't imply that the bleeding edge functionality won't go through a rigorous test process prior to incorporation, merely that they'll be incorporated for testing much much faster than RHEL plans to do so. For example, FC2 will incorporate the 2.6 kernel, which is why it's being actively tested now (see fedora-test-list for traffic relating to this).
It's not like they dropped 2.6 into FC1 as an 'update'...
