Frankly, I doubt it's worth it at the moment.  Fedora has much bigger
things to get done.

You're talking about upgrading to a product you have to purchase from
Red Hat.  That purchase includes support.  I doubt Red Hat will support
upgrading from Fedora.

Unless of course you meant CentOS.  In which case I still think it's not
worth worrying about.
