- From the End-Of-Lif statement from Red Hat Linux 7.3 and 9:

- ----
We'd like to take this opportunity to remind you of the options
available to you for migrating your Red Hat Linux implementations.

>>> >>> For businesses, governments, or those looking for a stable
Linux that provides updates and support for up to 5 years:
try Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

>>> >>> For developers or technology enthusiasts looking to contribute
to new Linux and open source technology developments:
try the Fedora Project.
- ----

And given the lifespan of 12 to 18 months were it goes from released to
no longer provided with updates I concur that Fedora should never been
used for business.
