Both are related (except of course for people paid to work on
fedora).
Not really. I use Fedora every day. The fact that I use it for packaging
things is a small small part of my usage of it. The extra 2 minutes or so
to twiddle an update differently is far far far outweighed by, say, X
exploding. Or thunderbird eating mail. Or any other variety of things that
could happen.

I fully agree with that. But pushing to stable rapidly may help
correct rapidly regerssions, too.
Wait. You don't want policies designed to avoid pushing regressions, so
that you can push fixes for the regressions you've given to people faster?
That's... impressive.
