In the case of bleeding edge Fedora, (Ie FC3 t1 right now), 1 and 2 are the same. Ie, we rebase to the upstream -bk release almost daily. (The only time we don't is when both myself and Arjan are otherwise occupied, like recently at OLS etc, but it's rare that both of us are too busy to do a rebase).
The current release version of Fedora (Ie, FC2 right now) has a slightly less aggressive update cycle, typically only when either a) the upstream kernel has fixed a lot of bugs that have been biting users, or b) there's a security problem to justify another update.
