Well, how about enthusiasm here?
What should do some previously RedHat-oriented enthusiast, when all the area for application of his enthusiasm is some "production environment"? Use RHEL/CentOS anywhere and Fedora on his laptop only? But RHEL/CentOS is far from the "bleeding edge", hence his enthusiasm just disappear...
I don't understand what you're saying. Why do you need to be bleeding-edge in your stable environments?
Well, not the "bleeding-edge" literally.
An environment, which is considered stable, can be "untypical". Ie. "untypical production stable environment".
All the years RHL/Fedora is used at my work, we was compelled (from time to time) to even port some future versions/features of N+1 distro to the current N distro. Because the features required for our "untypical" environment have appeared somewhere closer to the bleeding-edge...
Sounds like you want Centos + Extras then. Or maybe Extras isn't up to date enough, and some people may need to create a new 'Current' repo for Centos.
The closest I've come to wanting something "new" in Centos was wanting a 2.4.3 (or so) Python instead of the 2.4.2 (or so) that comes with RHEL/Centos. And that was easily avoided.
