Look at the case. Fedora is a bleeding edge release where new stuff is
published for testing and eventual incorporation into RHEL. If you
don't want to be a bleeding edge user/tester then stay away from current
Fedora releases.
For example, I like to have the newest software, but I don't want to be
the primary tester. I prefer to hang back a release or two, where most
or the bugs have been found and fixed, before I encounter them and loose
data that I find important.
In the mean time you can research the newest releases to see if you want
to go there. I've don't like the looks of what I see in F15 or F16 at
the moment so I'll probably skip those releases.
