That's Red Hat's official opinion.  In my opinion, Red Hat's opinion is 
based on their need and desire to sell their commercial product.

You'll find a very different opinion on the Fedora list, especially in 
response to a thread I contributed to with the subject of "CNET News 
Article".

While I have real concerns about using Fedora in commercial 
applications, I believe they may just be overcome in time.  In the 
meantime, the Fedora Legacy group has committed to maintaining RHL 7.3 
into the future, and that's what I'm sticking with for now.
