I'll repost this because I believe Kevin had a good point: I don't understand why we are trying to reinvent the wheel here. The infrastructure for Kevin's suggestion is in place now - KDE has been using it and it works.

KDE for some time has been pushing out large updates using the regular update process. What is the issue with just doing this? It certainly seems much more straight forward and easier than ~.x updates. Fedora version releases could then be reserved for structural / architectural concerns rather than software updates and bug fixes. Fedora stays fast moving and Fedora X releases come less often - seems like a win / win.
