Since Fedora is ostensibly the bleeding edge distro second only to the likes of Arch, it seems reasonable for the dev nudging to start(?) happen(ing?) there.

I get where you are coming from with the bleeding edge comment, but Arch is not really experimental levels of cutting edge, they just try to follow upstream as close as possible. Fedora OTOH is happy to do these kinda non-upstream stuff to actually bring stuff forward.

Fedora essentially is upstream, when it comes to desktop Linux.

People seem to either ignore or just not be aware of this. Fedora has always been the first mover. If that's not what you want you should be using a different distro. Ubuntu will be supporting an LTS version with X11 for many more years.

Personally I'm very aware, and not against that. Just wanted to point out that a single "I'm running it without problems for years" experience is not a high quality signal for state of any piece of software.
I have experienced "very fun" problems with a "supported NVIDIA card with official drivers that support that card", while people said that they are using theirs without any problems for years.
