Thanks a lot to everybody who responded my question.
I got the impression that for production better use non-Fedora (Centos, RH) so as to minimize the frequent-updates work. For development stage it seems that using Fedora would not be a big issue. I will consult my programmer about this advice, since he usually works with Fedora.
Just interesting fact: my colleague has run an apps with MySQL DB, on Fedora 6 from 2008 in desktop-configured as server, found no issue until now and never upgrade the Fedora.

This conversation has piqued my curiosity.
Fedora becomes end of life. I'm guessing that means the kernel and
associated components go EOL.
What would be the difference between an EOL well serviced and managed
Fedora 19 and newly installed CentOS6.5 as far as internet safety and
security goes?
I'm guessing that EAL Fedora apps like apache or nginx, php, perl,
python, Ruby, c, mariadb, OpenSSL, firewall and the other security apps
as well as Inkscape, Blender, LibreOffice Firefox, Thunderbird and
others would keep on updating as they do in CentOS until the updates did
not fit with installed kernel requirements which could conceivably be
quite some time down the track. Pardon my terminology, I'm out of depth
here.
I don't remember any conversations for years about attacks on Fedora
system it'self, so what parts of Fedora are or could become dangerous
after EOL down the track?
What would one have to look out for if one does keep an EOL Fedora for a
number of years?
