Sounds like they want to be Debian

Parent article: Who is Fedora for?

Sounds like they want to do what Debian is doing:
* Maintainers upload into Unstable.
* Scripts migrate packages into Testing after a period without release critical bug reports.
* Testing is frozen and released as Stable at some interval.

But if Fedora wants to be Debian, one could wonder why they have their own distro...

Fedora isn't trying to be anything other than Fedora. If it decides to adopt a development model similar to another distro... that's more about best practices than trying to adopt a distro's reason for being.
