Hello Guys!
Read this bad news:

This is happening frequently. I think we will have to revise some things
within the project, particularly the creation of a Legacy project or a
Fedora LTS.
The brazilian government, one of the biggest Fedora Case of the world is
changing from Fedora/ Red Hat to Ubuntu/Debian.
We need to think and create a solution to give support by a long time or
the fedora user will decrease!

Frankly, that's what RHEL/CentOS are for. Taking Fedora as a long term
server solution was a mistake in their side IMO. Fedora Legacy exited
and died due to a lack of interest.
To me, this is not a change that is just "decided upon". The admins there
are plenty smart and know how to mix and match CentOS, Fedora or RHEL to
suit them.
This feels like a targeted "customer acquisition" by Canonical. If you
read the press release, it reads like a classic "customer success story".
"Gee whiz, look at how much easier it is to manage Ubuntu!"
Which is hogwash, of course. But kudos to Canonical for picking a good
high-profile project to take away from us.
