It's more like 9 months. A feature has to wait until the next branching
of a Fedora version from rawhide, and then for that Fedora version to be
released. For example, a feature that landed in rawhide on 2010-02-19,
just after F13 was branched, would end up in F14 on 2010-11-02.
Your point is still taken.
It'd be in the Alpha for F14 much earlier. And all along the way, from
rawhide -> branched -> alpha -> beta -> final it'll have users using it
and providing feedback, and a progressively less scary target for eager
users to jump to if they want that new feature earlier.
