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.
