What's the big deal?

Parent article: Big decisions loom for Fedora

For my line of work (HPC clusters for scientific computing) Fedora is
actually better to use than RHEL, which is too straight-jacketed (cut
down & old kernels) and their (admirable) aim of being a long-term stable
release for servers means it is often too old to be of much interest.

The single exception to that is commercial software where the ISVs often
stipulate RHEL or SLES (even though their code usually works quite
happily with Fedora, just don't try and tell them that).
