I think the whole point was that Fedora is much more experimental than RHL ever was.

I'm not truly into RedHat, but from what I've seen and heard I don't think anyone is saying that Fedora has to be absolutely bug free or that RHL was absolutely bug free.
What seems to be a central part of the complaints, however, is that Fedora implements experimental things that don't necessarily make sense to roll out at that stage if the goal really was to make Fedora as good as possible. (Hence "RHEL's guinea pig".)
