I guess there's (at least) two ways to understand "stable":

- things don't break
- things don't change

(... unless absolutely necessary, in each case)

To me, "things don't break" describes Fedora stable releases (as opposed to 
rawhide), and "things don't change" describes RHEL.

A typical Fedora user wants the latest if it works and should be prepared to 
adjust to the changes this brings with it (but not to rawhide-type breakage). A 
typical RHEL user wants a stable environment for reproducible computing (short 
of containerizing and freezing for reproducibility).

On a side-note: This is why Fedora packagers are sometimes hesitant to build 
for EPEL because it means going by a different notion of "stable".
