There's a notion called freedom that you may have heard of.
And how is that specific to Fedora? I meant as opposed to a system where you can actually deploy something that needs stability.
There are few distributions that I consider as free as Fedora and none that I would consider more free.
Local development for things you want to put into production progresses at about the same rate as the system itself. If you wait for an enterprise version's release before starting, you'll be about a year and a half behind. If you develop on the previous enterprise version, there will be a huge version jump in libraries, database versions, jvms, etc. that will require changes and not take advantage of new capabilities.
This sounds like you have an issue with the entreprise distributions and you're trying to shoehorn Fedora into being a stopgap solution for it. Why don't you work with the entreprise distributions' communities to find a better solution ?
