It's a craziness !! They knew our release schedule when they deployed right? So why is it a problem now and why are you basically demanding that we redesign a successful model to avoid your problem given that you were warned in advance. I would suggest that if SERPRO needs a longer cycle they could work with Fedora to branch a release like the upcoming Fedora 8 and volunteer to do all the maintance work to give it the lifecycle they need. I'm sure such an investment would be considered valuable by webhosts and the likes. Alternatively you could go with CentOS which is built on Fedora but with a 7 year life span and release major releases every ~2 years. That seems more suitable for your needs. Fedora is a rapidly evolving platform, we depend and commit to the 6 month cycle with a reasonable lifecycle giving us that. The only thing we can do is increase testing of the upgrade process to make it as painfree for you as possible, but we'll need and value your help in doing this. More hands on deck is always good.
