Red Hat is the primary sponsor of the Fedora Project, and they base RHEL on Fedora's development. One of the Fedora goals is "First", which brings rapid development. That level of development is inherently not appropriate for some types of installations, especially infrastructure servers. In those cases, it makes more sense for people who like the environment of Fedora (rpm, yum, etc.) to use a slower-changing platform like RHEL (or the community rebuilds like CentOS). Some people tried to do a Fedora extended-life release, and there just wasn't sufficient community support to keep it functional. Fedora can't try to be all things to all people; in cases where people like Fedora but it can't meet their needs, pointing them to RHEL/CentOS, and trying to help those projects, makes sense (as opposed to telling them to go download some other distribution). -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
