Think of Ubuntu as the first CD of a debian install and you'll get the idea. Fedora could have an equally easy to install first CD (or multiple variations) without losing any other packages from the network repositories or the subsequent CD's if you wanted to install that way. However, the fast-changing nature of fedora means that even if you do install a program from the CD a few months after release there's a pretty good chance that you'll replace the whole thing on the first run of up2date or 'yum update'.
Well, if you are "brave", you can do an FTP-install of RawHide: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/images/
But still: an FTP-install for FC would be great.
