I think we should at this point try 'statistics for beginners'. You have
a list consisting of people who are heavily involved and people who join
because they have problems combined with a tendancy for those having
problems to be the ones who post (why email 'my server is working today'
to the list).

Products such as RHEL are designed with a goal of avoiding regressions,
so what works continues to work and for many uses that is far more
preferable. To understand Fedora reliability you need to work out what to
measure. The end result of that is that while RHEL might be far less
likely to regress something that works well than Fedora, it is also far
less likely to cure something than Fedora. 

I know a lot of people who run Fedora reliably on servers, including some
I'd have expected to be running enterprise products.
