I'm fairly certain Seth isn't expecting Fedora users to use Fedora on
their server.

We have this conversation every few months.  It's just about picking the
right tool for the job.  Too many people think that every distro should be
used for every use case and that one distro is somehow 'better'.

It's just about identifying what ones needs are, and picking the best OS
for the need.  In Fedora's case we do have Fedora on some servers, but for
most of our needs RHEL is a better fit.
