Fedora is not for real work. Fedora is a rolling beta:-)

If it matters, get something more stable wrt changes.

Note, I do use Fedora, but not on servers and not where a breakage matters.

Wrt those serious folk on Nahant, one of them was mumbling the other day 
about 10,000 machines.

You do not roll out updates to 10,000 machines if there is any 
likelihood of something breaking. You do it carefully and infrequently.
