Is there a version of Fedora that can be installed on a production web server or is it all considered beta?
Will there be stable production releases in the future?
As I understand it (*), Fedora Core's main target is developers and enthusiasts, not 'must-be-super-stable' production deployments.
In other words, the goal is to develop amazing & cool new software, not to make it polished for deployment. That's something for other projects or products to take care of.
I don't think Fedora will not be polished enough for deployment -- it will most likely be other things that will keep "the enterprise" from using it:
- no support - no guarantees (e.g. ABI-wise) - short life cycle (though Fedora Legacy might weaken this point)
I for myself expect (not in the sense of demanding it -- except from myself -- but rather thinking it will happen this way) Fedora to be very polished, after all it's the developers' collective reputation that's on stake ;-).
