They generally wait for Fedora to ship with it first and work out all
the kinks, then they snap it run with it. So I really don't buy the
"but then we'd be Ubuntu" argument, at all.
It's true that Ubuntu is usually one or two releases behind us with new
stuff. (Though they are exceptions, e.g. Upstart which they developed and
were the first to ship. They also shipped KDE 4 K3b a release earlier
because we didn't feel comfortable shipping an alpha version of K3b in a
stable release.)
