The way I read RedHat's take on Fedora Core is that it is not so much 
the development lab for packages not quite ready for prime time, but 
more for the packages that are not quite ready for the "enterprise" 
(whatever that is...).

So I guess it all boils down to what you think is "prime time."

I've had a pleasant experience with Fedora Core 1, even as an upgrade 
install on top of RHL 8.0. I'm heavily considering it as the replacement 
to the RHL 7 I have installed at work.
