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.
