You must speak for oneself, Reindl. I myself still run several F14
boxes and so far I do not want upgrade them, simply for several
reasons:
- they are quite stable, much more than F16+ ones (F15 was rather
unusable, I almost avoid it).
- they works as I want, not as wind blows (yes, have you someone tried
e.g. switch to runlevel 1 and then back to runlevel 5 (oops,
rescue.target/graphical.target ;)
- they use stable pretty Gnome2 WM
- they act as LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) servers (which
seems dead with F15+)

Of course, some drawback is that F14 isn't supported yet and I have
package some important packages itself, but this isn't too big
problem. And yes, if I had know 2 years back how will be next Fedora
development take, then I should have at these boxes Centos or some
*buntu distro (where is LTSP supported well).

As rather optimist, I hope F19 will be at least so good as F14 was.
