Migrating them to what? That's my question.
If you can't upgrade every year (or ideally, twice year), CentOS is the
clear answer.
If you make that kind of statement, you are effectively removing
high-end server testing from Fedora Core. If FC is still supposed to be
a testbed for the newer software, whether it's desktop or high-end
server, then that sounds like the wrong thing to say.
There are people who run servers for whom CentOS isn't a viable
alternative because hardware upgrades necessitate running newer kernels
and software than is available in current enterprise releases. Right
now, the Redhat/CentOS enterprise software offering is moving at a
slower pace than the hardware people might run it on. That's the case
for us. That's why we run Fedora Core on our rather large amount of
servers.
I'm not saying this to complain or try to keep FC4 active or anything
like that. The FL project made their choices and we made ours based on
what was stated at the time. I see a lot of, "Well, if you can't keep
up with our pace, CentOS is the distro for you," though, and that's just
not true. The FL project was a nice middle-ground for people between FC
and CentOS.
