Right. But don't you think this group could at least come up with a list of proposals, or even one proposal? It could include a longer support timeframe, but also detail how Fedora is not friendly to Server today.
It needs a longer support lifetime and/or a slower update rate.
I think that's really all.
slower update rate - I don't think the core required for running server services changes so often and the server services itself also don't have too many updates, I've not done any analysis though
longer lifetime - one upgrade per year can be survived
Also the reason for this mailing list and SIG is not necessarily only about running the server on Fedora, but about testing and preparing "server things" for the next RHEL. It's clear that only a minority of people will run production servers on Fedora and it would be nice to show the world what can be expected in the next RHEL. But it all begins at the definition of a server and also what today's admins expect as a server. My view is still minimalistic - you need kernel + init system + yum + the server ...

PS: I know I don't give this project as much time as I originally planned, but the work on Fedora/s390x takes a lot of time and we see it as an investment into the future. The dinosaurus will be here for a long time :-)
