I would certainly find Fedora more useful if it got security fixes for a year 
instead of six months. There are times when features in CentOS are not recent 
enough, and the next Fedora release is not stable enough. I'm actually impressed 
by the fact that FC10 is "non-critical reliable" before the preview is out. I 
just worry that the official initial release will be close enough to the first 
beta+rawhide to avoid functional differences.
