Somewhat cutting edge and a testbed, yes, I'd agree more or less. But otherwise, IMHO, your perception is wrong.

I can't remember when a stable update broke anything and I've been a Fedora user from the beginnings and a Red Hat user before that. It must have happened but I actually can't recall when was the last time, it's so infrequent.

What could Fedora do to change the reputation of being unstable? RHEL is far more stable, naturally, but otherwise...

Also, each release isn't supported for 6 months but for appx. 13 months. Support lasts until one month after a n+2 release, e.g. Fedora 17 support will end one month after Fedora 19 release.

IMHO that's a question of being informed. Google returns the relevant wiki articles as top results for "fedora support cycle" or "fedora release support".
