that's the risk you take for using a community (ish) / volunteer developed OS.

I always recommend Fedora - because they have Red Hat upstream so it's enterprisey but still the same sort of community :)

I hear you. I would rather choose Ubuntu, but we have to be compatible with RHEL since we have to ship our product on it. We need all the dev boxes running something binary and library-level compatible with it, and then it is easier to have all our servers on same architecture as well.

Red Hat is actually downstream from Fedora. Red Hat takes a Fedora release once every two years and makes it into a RHEL.
