So, first off, as I think I have indicated many times: we already do use Fedora in places where it makes sense to. We don't exclusively use Fedora on all machines/instances, because it doesn't make sense to. > That's something else that this policy could potentially addresses, > frankly.

It's not only that. ;) * Having to upgrade every 6months or a year. * Having to redeploy/test all our applications on a new version every 6months or a year. * Rate of updates is very high. We would need to schedule lots more outages to keep up with kernel and glibc updates for example. * Updates can break things/less tested than RHEL updates (This one I think is much less the case than it used to be, but still there). * Probibly some more things I'm not thinking of now. So, really, I can see us expanding use of Fedora in some areas, but I don't know that we will ever get to "100% Fedora". In fact, depending on how you figure that it's impossible. Things like some of our storage or routers are not even able to run Fedora. kevin
