Backported fixes, low churn, 5+ years of maintenance, etc... It's not firms it's public IT research institutes and high-level math universities (google INRIA or ENS) Of course they don't do research on 5-years-old systems Of course they want to spend their research money on lab experiments, not sparcstations or RHEL WS Of course they want something their students can run in their room. This being said, they can certainly afford a local Fedora mirror with a sysadmin which filters updates and blocks xorg 7.1 if they have labs with nvidia systems. -- Nicolas Mailhot
