It isn't suitable for everyone of course. If you want to use something that doesn't change much and has a longer lifecycle etc, there are other distributions that fit the bill. I do think that Fedora could benefit from a slightly longer lifecyle (not 7 years but maybe 2 to 3 years) and more people participating in QA but apparently not many people are interested. If you want to participate and get involved, that is far more helpful that accusations of secret agendas. To everyone, who is now urging to talk about how they are using Fedora as a server, stop. You are missing the point. I am talking about general trends.

Rahul, I did not accuse you of anything except your outstanding contribution. I did say "I really get the feeling there is another agenda at work here" and what I was hinting at, was that Redhat are setting the Fedora agenda such that it NEVER becomes stable.

Don't confuse individual opinions with that of a organization. Red Hat has continued steadily increasing the amount of people working in Fedora QA and efforts to make Fedora stable like update policy, test days and AutoQA don't fit into your hidden agenda theory. Look, what you are saying doesn't make much sense. If Fedora become very unstable, community will leave and Red Hat has to spend more money and time working on stabilizing RHEL. Besides, if people don't want to pay and want to get the stability of RHEL, they can always go use a free rebuild like CentOS or Scientific Linux and Fedora's efforts in EPEL would only help them in that regard and Red Hat doesn't benefit in any way. Fedora is and has always been focused on innovation and this is no secret
And a later post affirms my exact concern (see further down this thread).
