We certainly make no such claim. In fact, to the contrary, see
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/, where I hope we make this
very clear: the Project enables the production of _user-focused_ solutions.
We're not just building a testing ground.



Fedora Server is one of those solutions, and here's its defining
documentation:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Product_Requirements_Document#Fedora_Server_Vision_Statement:

>From that:

    Fedora Server Vision Statement
    ------------------------------

    Fedora Server is the preferred [community] platform for system
    administrators and developers seeking to deploy applications and services
    that use the latest technology on a stable foundation with effective
    resource utilization.


    Fedora Server Mission Statement
    -------------------------------

    Fedora Server is a common base platform with "featured server roles" built
    on top of it. We commit to produce, test, and distribute these server roles.

Does that help?
