Some would consider Debian's "slow rate of change" as enabling the 
potential for Service Level Agreements for any number of service 
providers who wish to render that service.  It is admittedly more 
difficult to be able to service multiple versions of Fedora Core that 
are released every 6-ish months, but certainly doable since the server 
side stuff does not change *that* much.  That would be a business 
decision of the provider to make.
