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.

As you have read, it would be better to use CentOS over Fedora.
I work with someone that is more or less in your shoes. He has various
versions of Fedora running. All behind a firewall with no outside
access. No updates is one of the reasons. Less to screw up on.
Another reason is consistency over the years. F20 is a major change
from F14.
As time is precious, I would save headaches and look at Centos over
Fedora of a commercial or deployed product. Presently in F20, I know of
at least one application that has been broken from install and still not
working. In F19, I have a couple of applications that are broken as
well. Both are supported but there is no insurance that broken
applications will be fixed.
My father ran a few servers and he swore by Centos over Fedora for
running servers.
Security is always an issue. I wouldn't run anything with critical data
on a system that isn't getting updates. The risks are just too high.
