Given that Fedora is only supported for 18 months I wonder how that can 
be unless you are running an unmaintained OS.

Fedora changes too fast for a production environment for /me/. I want to 
install and maintain an OS for roughly the life of the hardware. That 
means 5+ years. My job as an administrator is to make systems as easy to 
maintain as possible. A short lived distro requires more time and bodies 
to maintain it on production equipment - a luxury I dont have.
