This is an important notice, and a very effective point of view. But when it comes to debates and hot conversation regarding whether fedora is the testing playground for Redhat Ent. or not, it becomes a weak point I guess. But after all, nothing is truly free and to be honest fedora is one of the most stable releases among open source Linux bases operating system. Therefore, I usually tend to insure focusing on this point, "testing playground", and finish its discussion before I go into explaining more about fedora's features.
