You need to define "production" too. A software developer might have a 
different view from that of a provider of online financial services. The 
former might thin Fedora 8 the ideal server offering for its production 
work, simply because it needs the latest features to develop and test 
against. Someone targetting RHEL6 should be using F8, if not today, then 
certainly tomorrow.
