AFAIK there isn't an upgrade path from RHL to RHEL. It is unsupported by
RH. It appears "bare-metal" installs or upgrades from another RHEL
product is the only thing that is supported.

RHEL ES will cost you $350/per year and is guaranteed to provide, from
RH, 5 years of maintenance (security updates, bugfixes, etc..) for a
specific version release.

Can you use Fedora in a stable production environment? I think the
answer to this question is specific to each individual user. Each
individual user is going to have to decide for themselves after
evaluating both Fedora and the RHEL versions which is best for them.
