Sometimes it's bad enough trying to keep an estate of Enterprise Linux up to date in production. I can only assume some of those mentioned *really* want new kernels/packages. I guess if you frequently pull down and rebuild using a suitably large amount of automation then it could be viable.
I think I've got to the age where if it works I'm less inclined to start messing with it (life is too short). So on that point I'd have a hard time even using Fedora on the desktop for a prolonged period of time. Though I do download it and throw it on a VM every few releases just to see what it's up to.
I'd say overall it's a trade-off between having the stability of a more long-term distro or having the time to mess with "bleeding edge". Yes I deliberately used that phrase, because Fedora is. It pretty much follows the "move fast and break things" mantra.
