The brazilian government, one of the biggest Fedora Case of the world is changing from Fedora/ Red Hat to Ubuntu/Debian.
The problem was at an initial point, when Fedora was considered "for enthusiasts only". A lot of previous "RedHat Linux enthusiasts" just switch to CentOS (and similar RHEL-based systems), no more using Fedora, because "it is marked as a non-for-production system even by its creators".
The fact that they switched to CentOS is *good* for Fedora. CentOS's goals are better oriented to the needs of someone that wants to deploy a system and run it for years.
They switched to Debian and Ubuntu. There is no evidence that they considered Centos.
