True, but you may also fail at upgrading (see the users ML) and it
means possibly fail every 6 months ;-). You cannot be serious in
recommending Fedora for a server in production, just because it has
up-to-date software without mentioning that it would bring fresh fixes,
yes, but also fresh bugs. And that's not what I'd recommend to
handle a server in production, unless you are both the user and the
admin and it's your own home/office and your responsibility only
involves you and no real cost if something goes wrong. Or, unless your
hardware requires kernel (and more) support that is only found in
Fedora, which is another important detail (for instance, you might fail
w/ CentOS7 or Redhat7 on fresh hardware).
