We can easily choose what we want to install, and we can easily apply the updates either during or after install. A respin won't help us in these manners. What we don't like about Fedora is there is not really any attempt to keep a non abi changing platform, the updates are fast and loose, and the distribution releases get flushed quickly. Fedora is great for short term or developmental servers, whereas RHEL/CentOS is far more suited for long term production environments. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
