Delay? Looks bad for Fedora

Not sure if this is really adding to the thread, but I'm curious what 
other people think:

My situation with RHEL/Fedora is that my company (a large department in 
an .edu) doesn't need the commercial support of RHEL, we need the 
release cycle. The fact of the matter is that while we want to go with 
RHEL department wide, we can't afford it. So, we're being forced into 
giving Fedora a shot on our workstations, and RHEL ES on our critical 
servers.

The problem comes in with the fact that no one in our department is 
going to stand for a Fedora rollout/reinstall every 8 or so months.... 
to say nothing of the fact that this schedule is going to put our 2 man 
IT team into a permanent "get ready for the new release" mode. While I 
realize that the Fedora Legacy project has been created to address 
these sorts of needs, I guess I'm a little skeptical.

I sincerely apologize for asking this because I mean no offense... but 
is the Fedora Legacy Project going to be something that people like me 
can truly depend on?

Thanks so much!
