I'm sorry, but you're being slightly pig-headed here.
Its just a process of what IT managers have been doing for decades.

You choices are (and there may be more!):


A) make a case to management, and the user community ie. those staff who 
are telling you that they need Redhat (read Fedora) and won't use anything 
else. A case for more support staff and time to support Fedora.

B) go with RHEL, but again you need to make a case to the management for a 
budget.

C) go with another distro that suits your needs/pocketbook


Sorry if I'm sounding strident - I don't mean to.
