Right, but what about the 6 month support cycle?  Even with Fedora
Legacy, you still only get a year and a half of updates.  That's what
I'm concerned about.  Sure it works great now, but if in a year and a
half I have to either upgrade or start building my own packages that's a
pain.  We tend to run mission-critical boxes that work well until
they're no longer supported in order to prevent user aggravation.  I'd
much rather only do that every 4 years.
