If you mean like how Debian classifies its releases?  Then I don't think Fedora 
ever reaches "Stable".  It is really a cutting edge test bed for new features 
and code for RHEL and not a general use Linux Desktop OS.  We as users are the 
testers.  Some here have said that Fedora releases are really advanced betas, 
but I think that's incorrect.  Being a beta implies development toward a stable 
release, but Fedora never reaches finality nor is it intended to.  13 months 
after a particular version's release, development and support on it is 
abandoned in favor of newer versions.  IMO, Fedora releases, regardless of the 
version, are forever stuck in an advanced "Testing" state somewhere between 
Beta and Stable, a Gamma, if you will.  

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS and Scientfic Linux are what I would regard as 
"Stable".
