Much of the concern that has been expressed involves the stability of the Fedora releases. With Redhat branded releases we were assured that they went through a disciplined testing and quality methodolgy.
It is my impression that this formal process will not apply to the Fedora Project. While Redhat personnel will supervise the Fedora testing it will be much less disciplined and thorough than what we're used to.
The intent is not to be sloppy, deliberately break things, or add wildly unusable cvs snapshots, no. I plan to run Fedora on my workstation for example and I will get grumpy if it doesn't work. ;-)
The intent _is_ to add the latest released versions of packages, though, to have feature updates rather than bugfixes-only, and to have frequent releases.
The exact policies and processes aren't really decided, they will be discussed a good bit on the mailing lists I expect.
