Why would you have to use 3 year old package versions when the RHEL release
cycle is 18 months? Honestly speaking, for people interested in actually
using an OS to get some real -work- done instead of seeking a life on the
bleeding edge for their own thrill, RHEL5 and respins of it are very well
usable. The Fedora user community is much more biased towards software
enthousiasts and early adopters, and in general, they wouldn't even stick to
Fedora release N after release N+1 has been readied 6 months later.
Accordingly, I would expect the interest of LTS for this group to be rather
limited.
