No gotcha here. I don't expect users to handle the issues. Either the users in question want the opportunity to run the latest software in an integrated distro and so choose to run Fedora or they want to have a stable platform on which to deploy their own work and therefore they use CentOS/RHEL/Debian Stable.
No, it's not an either/or scenario. Users may way to develop something new and be willing to put up with unstable fedora to get current tools for that, but there is no clear transition plan to put what they have built into production. In the old RH X.0 -> X.1 -> X.2 days the transition from a new release to a stable OS usable in production happened through updates - now it doesn't happen at all. Support is simply dropped for the platform you started on and there is no reason to expect anywhere near the same library versions and environment as you migrate to a stable platform.
There's a right tool for any job and a wrong tool. Using your crescent wrench to hammer nails is possible but not very satisfying.
