That's the case here too, and as I suggested earlier, is also true for many,
many other people who haven't said anything. (I'm basing this on
circumstantial evidence, but, for example, observe the number of people who
crop on fedora-list with FC3 questions.)
However, ample evidence has made it clear that without significant resources
from someone with money to dedicate to this project (i.e. at least one
full-time position), more than 13 months is not practical. Therefore, CentOS
is the best answer for this large segment of users. That's a loss for
Fedora, but, whatchagonnado.
Going to 13 months will at least cover a different largish segment.
