Because it is not possible to switch to centos from all fedora releases.
Right now you cannot switch from F8 to any centos, and even an updated F6
couldn't switch to centos 5. So it would be interesting for F6, F7, F8.
Maybe not F9 if switching from an updated F9 to centos 6 is possible,
but will centos 6 be ready in 6 months?
If you have a system you are developing that needs to run on
RHEL/CentOS, you start development on RHEL/CentOS not on Fedora. The
same goes for anything - if you were going to deploy on Ubuntu 8.04
(the most recent LTS version) you wouldn't start development on Ubuntu
8.10 would you?
