Hi,
it is not that fedora has figured out something that ubuntu has not, it is just that it is more a bleeding edge distribution than ubuntu is, which means that you often get upstream fixes faster than in ubuntu, but also that you might have to deal with upstream regressions in a more unplesant way because packages may get pushed to their repos with less testing. If you want bleeding edge with ubuntu, you can use a mainline ppa kernel and the X crack pushers repo and then you should also have the leatest and greatest of features and misfeatures, but keep in mind that those packages aren't tested at all against stability or even usability. But if you want newer packages with less effort and risk, you may also want to give fedora a try.
