I know about users for which Centos/RHEL is not right because it is too
old, fedora would suit them, if they had not to upgrade after one year.
Currently I have to propose them to install ubuntu, because there is
nothing in the fedora/RHEL market that suits them. Not enough power user
for fedora updates every year, need too recent stuff for RHEL. Another
category who be those who want to use a controlled set of next
technology preview in production environment and are willing to do some
testing and help with bugs, hence would have choosen fedora, but cannot
if they have to update each year.
On this point, I know I tend to be pretty liberal with my personal
machines (and tend to keep them at the latest !rawhide), but for my
work laptop, while I run Fedora for a variety of reasons, I tend to be
pretty conservative and upgrade to the latest only when forced to by
distro EOL or some other compelling reason. A LTS plan would make
sense for reasonable situations like this.
