If you want consistent hot newness.. you use Fedora the distribution and you deal with the release lifetime issue accordingly based on your local policy, resources and needs. If you need maintenance timescales then you sacrifice getting consistent access to hot newness and you choose CentOS or RHEL because they give you longer term support and thus reduce your local resource needs over a multiple year timescale. Its a trade off and you must choose which distribution offering meets your needs best. If neither fits well, then I would suggest you consider segregating your needs locally into critical services and user desktop/workstation so that you can more easily track Fedora the distribution for user-facing new hotness while keeping critical production services on slower moving RHEL or CentOS. -jef -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
