In an enterprise environment where you are supposed to only run
approved OS's.. yes (I will be running into this while I get an
allowance with my management to put in Fedora). However, the truth of
the matter is that upstream for projects always move from from what is
'enterprise ready' and then if there is a corporate need, they will
put in a lot of effort to get it ready.
