Fedora's stated lifetime policy and rate of technical advancement has to be weighted against other distribution choices in the Fedora derived ecosystem which move more slowly. The release cycle and updating policy of the Fedora distribution are not necessarily the most attractive elements for use in production systems. No one denies this. For production systems, for which Fedora distribution's lifetime policy is ill-fitted, the Fedora Project does sponsor the EPEL project for contributors who want to target extending the enterprise systems in the Fedora ecosystem. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL I personally would consider systems making use of EPEL as systems which make use of Fedora directly. If you are not familiar with how EPEL works, please read over the links at the EPEL wikipage at the Fedora Project wiki. It's perfectly acceptable to contribute to the Fedora project by contributing to EPEL without having to run the Fedora distribution. -jef
