You're not supposed to be running Fedora on production servers. That is
not what it's for.

I do this too, but when something in Fedora makes it a bit inconvenient,
I don't whine and throw all my toys from the perambulator, because I
know I'm using Fedora for something it's not entirely intended for, and
so I accept the pain and deal with it. It's like using a Lamborghini as
your daily runabout: you can do it, but you probably shouldn't whine
about how LAMBORGHINIS SUCK if you chip the undercarriage on a speed
bump.
