The real problem with this from a user's perspective is that no

report bugs, etc., but you never end up with a resulting improved,
stable version that is useful for any length of time because every
version is quickly discarded and replaced with new betas from upstream.
I have quite a lot of sympathy with your general view.
But if you want something with a long life-span why not try Centos?
Personally, I run Fedora on most of my computers
because in my experience it is the most likely OS to meet my needs.
I'm afraid I don't run it to test updates for the good of humanity,
or of RedHat.
I don't find upgrades to new Fedora versions are particularly onerous;
if I did I would certainly change to another distribution.
