I just had a vendor tell me they do not support Fedora Server because the the developers of Fedora had stated that it is not a stable release and is used only as a testing ground for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). And as such, they only supported RHEL and Cent OS.
Huh ??????
Fedora is more stable in my experience that RHEL ever was. When I was running Scientific Linux (clone of RHEL of CentOS) I almost went INSANE!
Is there a statement from the Fedora developers somewhere that I could send this vendor to straighten him out?
By "stable" they probably don't mean it is "unstable" as in prone to crashes.
I believe they may mean that within a given release there may be updates which may update a version of a library which is incompatible with their app.
An extreme case of this would be F29 going from the 4.X kernel to the 5.X kernel.
Indeed!
Is there some statement from the developers on this and what Fedora's purpose is?
