Seems that whomever released this distro should throw away

Why isn't this done by Fedora? (Not outsiders that we don't know
whether we can trust.)

The answer has been pretty clear on this - the release cycle is so
short, that it doesn't pay to spend the energy rebuilding the current
release because by that time, they are busy doing the builds for the
test releases for the next series.

Why not automate the packages to be the latest? Isn't this what
computers are supposed to be good at? How hard would it be to make a
bi-weekly package. Release the packages as FCx.yymmdd The ISO's
would just be created from the current packages. The date code
provides users to know the date of the image.
I assume you mean bi-weekly respins and a subsequent set of new isos?
How long would each iso set stay in circulation? A month? Two months?
A year?
While I agree that it should be (relatively) easy to design and
implement such a process, managing the resultant "sub-release" sets
could easily become a nightmare.
Just my opinion,
