Free software does not generally have an SLA, hence I don't believe
the Fedora Bugzilla advertises one either.

If you *need* it, then you need to use something which does have an
SLA - I would suggest that RHEL, SLES (or Ubuntu with a support
contract from Canonical) would be a better fit for someone who's
operation depends on a product and are is capable of contributing a
fix to the issue themselves.
