"Release early, release often" is the catch phrase I usually associate with
open source software that moves at a rapid development pace like Fedora.
Seems rather at odds with your expectations. Perhaps Red Hat's enterprise
products would better meet your needs.

If you're using Fedora, you're definitely not giving them much in the way
of money for it. Community-supported product. Repeat that phrase to
yourself a few times until you get it. Fedora and Red Hat's enterprise
lineup have nothing to do with each other, other than Red Hat providing
infrastructure (and a few employees ;-).

And if you think the non-Red Hat members of this list give a damn about your
"take my ball and go home" hissy fit attitude, you're quite mistaken. Not
that I think you have "an estimated 50k/yr in licenses" in your control; if
you did, you'd be talking to your sales rep about this, rather than whining
and making demands on the public mailing list of a community-driven product
from your Hotmail account.
