First, I very frequently hear this: "Fedora should have an LTS —

a rolling release." These two things are very far apart in actual
implication, but they have one big thing in common, and when pressed,
it usually comes down to: "Upgrades are painful and scary." We have
been working really hard on making upgrades fast and seamless, so we
need to deliver that message to users (and of course work to make
further improvements).
Indeed, I don't remember when I had troubles with N->N+1 major fedora
upgrade last time (though I always do distro-sync) on _my workstation_.
Upgrades on production servers (services built on top of Fedora) is
probably what scares users (with N->N+1 you can always expect a lot of
library API changes). But maybe this is the thing which might be solved
by modularity; one version of "module" version to span multiple Fedora
major versions...
