I think Russell has hit this one on the head.

Mike, you say "above all, stability".  That in my mind, does not equate
with the "newness" that Fedora strives for.  Also, bear in mind, that
while you might be picking F8 today, it will be gone in less than six
months.

If you need support or certification, pony up for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux.  If you do not need support, nor certification, but still want
the "long term stability", choose CentOS.  If you want to help move the
open source community along, need to access "latest" versions of certain
elements, or are just a Linux enthusiast who wants to "play", then
Fedora is the platform for you.
