Debian experimental == Fedora rawhide
In fact a Fedora release is best at very end, when updates are slow and most bugs are fixed. However, then all of sudden: No more security patches for you! And you have move to the next release with are lot of bugs and new "features".
I miss the best distro I have ever used: Red Hat Linux.

It is ideal for desktop used, continuously updated and breaks seldom if ever: for me it's been several years of rock-solid desktop use, with a trickle of bugs that get fixed before stable. Now that it has security support there is really little to complain about. If Fedora needs a role model I would suggest they study Debian testing closely.

Debian ceased security support for testing after the release of lenny:

AFAICT that hasn't resumed yet.
