More to the point, RHEL/Centos reflect past Fedora releases.

To  some  extent,  I  view  my current contribution to Fedora as being
unreasonable  and  insisting  that  it be able to perform basic server
tasks  reasonably  for  a  small home system. If it can't do that, why
would  I  believe  that  future RHEL releases won't follow the current
problematic trends that currently plague Fedora?

I  don't  pretend  to  be  mainstream. For example, my intention is to
become  involved in the Fedora ARM secondary arch. I recently acquired
an OpenRD-Client box... which still ships with a crufty F8 ARM port.
