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?

unfairness of the universe."
