I think fedora.redhat.com does a pretty good job of explaining the rationale behind the project. The Fedora Project has been pretty up front about this. It's fast moving and changes a lot. It's not recommended for production systems because it does change a lot. This has been discussed many times. If you want a distro that does things like Debian does, why not use... Debian!! I for one am for a world where all distributions are not the same. Use the one you like, there are plenty of choices.
