a1. Why update to FC4 when FC5 is almost here?
a2. Isn't the rate of updates on FC4 a little high for stability?
a3. What new features do I need? Where I have it installed, it works.

One system I maintain is still running RHL 7.3. It has been working for 
years, it gets updates from Fedora Legacy, I get to laugh at those who 
try to crack it. Upgrading involves migrating the mail services (the 
software in use does not appear in any likely replacement), downtime and 
the likelihood I'll get it wrong. We like the alternative - it keeps 
working until the hardware dies. Then we do something. We know it will 
be inconvenient at that time, but we also think that time is years away yet.
