An audience from another reality, I assume.
Which makes me curious, why Chris Wright doesn't say a word on the
subject after the announce of CentOS imminent shutdown? I would admire
to read his words of "now that we decided to shut down CentOS Linux..."

(sigh) CentOS was and still is used successfully on production servers
all over the globe. Those are facts. Whatever Red Hat thinks or advises
doesn't change the facts. They would never recommended a *free* clone of
RHEL for production use, even if it would be 100 times more stable.

I was using Fedora on production servers, so what?
Finally, I choose to use on production something that requires less
attention on yearly basis. So Fedora moved on to development systems,
and CentOS/other distributions with long support are now on production ones.
If people are happy with Fedora on production, that's strange to me, but
why I should object?
