I have a problem with this thinking...

1. It presupposes what you are calling a production server.

2. It attaches a negative aspersion to anyone who doesn't agree with
your thinking.

I can think of several scenarios off the top of my head where a Fedora
server would probably be preferable to CentOS/RHEL...

- Thin client server (like LTSP) where I want newer end user
applications.

- Special application server like Ruby on Rails that does things like
image manipulation.

So yes, I do think it's not only possible but sometimes useful if not
necessary to use something a little more bleeding edge than stable as a
server and not at all foolish.

Please stop with the over-arching characterizations that only serve to
further your narrow point of view.
