Seems like it depends a lot on what your servers do. I switched some of my
boxes from fedora to centos because fedora  support for old versions goes
dark too soon for me. I am happy, centos is close enough to fedora for me to
know my way around, and the few things that are different can be overcome
fairly easily. But so far I've only done fresh installs for new boxes,
haven't tried to deal with an old LVM or existing service that has to
migrate.
