I agree completely.  Furthermore, K12LTSP 5.0EL is based on CentOS 5, which is based in turn on Red Hat 5, which (finally) is based on Fedora Core 6, so you're getting "basically" the same FC6 system but with a much longer support life.  For me, I'd rather not upgrade even once a year, so FC is just too fast and furious.  I plan on using the CentOS based EL versions as long as they continue to be made available.  Not quite as bleeding edge but then, it's my blood we're talking about.
