Fedora is fine to be used in most production environments and that is not what will opose Fedora and RH-EL. When a company purchases RH-EL that means that it is really interested in getting support, training and all the other services RedHat provides (besides stable OS and applications). Here in Brazil I´ve been working in environments where RH-EL is used for intensive database applications (Oracle suite) mixed with some fedora servers for DNS and things like that. The advantages in the use of Fedora is that we are able to foresee things that will be available in next releases of RH-EL. I agree with the fact that using Fedora is important to assure that the RH-EL is stable and performatic. Regarding to the "ext3/jbd bug", I don´t think it is up for all the fuzz we have seen in this list. It is around for sometime and nobody noticed it. The fact that the issue came to discussion before the release of FC-6 simply shows the commitment of Linux community in not hidding dirty issues under the rugs and that this problem won´t be present in the next release of RH-EL.

"Enthusiasts and developers" means that Fedora will be used on their home computers/laptops etc. only, and *never* used in the production environment. But a lot of critical bugs can be found only by "production usage". If RHEL is based on Fedora, then Fedora must be stable enough for production systems too. Otherwise RHEL people should spent a lot of testing/laboratory etc. work itself, but even such a work does not guarantee that they will catch all the bugs possible...
