So basically CenTOS is another version of "Debian" basically? Debian
sticks with "older" software.
Debian has stable and unstable releases. I use Debian unstable and
Fedora to check for issues in "mission critical" apps to help ensure
they get noticed and fixed before wide adoption. The majority of installations
use Ubuntu LTS releases which generally track Debian stable releases.
Large organizations often expect new systems to need startup work, but
then expect them to run with patch updates for 5 years (plus 2 years
it takes to do "new business cases, new threat/risk assessments, purchase,
and commissioning"). This means there are still "mission critical" systems
running RHEL/CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
