Fedora and long term support

It makes me wonder when they say "we need to make sure we have our RAID drivers and reasonably up-to-date LAMP and image-rerendering infrastructure software." Every RAID controller you can find in a server is supported by RHEL/SuSE and server market Ubuntu is the newcomer.

Maybe Ubuntu has a better support for poor RAID controller, the motherboard based cheap ones as it's more desktop driven, but I hope for them that they run their infrastructure on something of a better quality.

It seems to me that they have used for a long time Red Hat and Fedora, found a lot of problem in using them in a production environment, have admins with a strong Debian knowledge, and finally choose to use Ubuntu as they could more easily switch back and forth from Ubuntu LTS and Debian Testing.
