Without meaning to upset that apple cart too much...the reality (on servers, such as mine at home) is that updates don't always work smoothly, there are far too many of them, and the churn is high. The Server SIG is a nice idea, but at the moment it's not practical to run Fedora on a server. I'd like to use it for my own personal stuff, but I need something that is going to last a couple of years, with only occasional syncing of security fixes, not 6-12 month re-installs. You're free to run Fedora on your server, and more power to you.
