I would say that is only somewhat accurate. As a Fedora Contributor, and
Ambassador, who happily runs Fedora current on my machines, I can tell you
first hand, Fedora is cutting edge, not stale.
It can also be said that is moves too fast sometimes. The community (Fedora)
is very active. I am running current versions of anything needed.
