It does not even pretend to be *production server* friendly. The personality of the Fedora project is fast paced, (b)leading edge, leaving the past behind quickly. It is a great proving ground or test bed for current technologies. It is fun. It will never have the stability or extended support that a server class distribution does. What you are asking for does not meet the Fedora Philosophy. There are distributions that do match your requirements, and you would be better severed by switching to one of these, instead of trying to change Fedora to be just like the other distributions. If you are using Fedora on production machine, you are using the wrong tool for the job. Yes, it can be used that way, but Centos would probably be a better choice. It already has the features you are looking for, and is a RedHat based distribution. One analogy would be trying to pry something open. You can use a screwdriver or a prybar. They both may work, but the prybar is usually the better choice. But if you want to install/remove a screw, the screwdriver is usually the better choice. There is a need for both, but each one has a job that it is designed for, and is better suited for.
