While this certainly makes sense, I start to wonder what Fedora's understanding of 'stability' really is if it seems to not cover the packages (including kernel) it distributes. Does it cover only anything else, like e.g. installation routine, default settings or components used? Apologies if I'm asking trivial questions here. I'm not a native Fedora user and therefore lack experience in these aspects.
The policy is here:

Package maintainers have a lot of leeway as to how to interpret it. If you think an update is risky, you *probably* shouldn't do it. Otherwise, just avoid doing updates "too often."
