But when your mission is to focus on Enterprise(rhel) customers just before
they release it's not hard to see why people are saying fedora is beta for
rhel. I personally don't see how you'll drop this tag when you have a couple
of "Comunity focused" then a "Corporate focused" cycle.
The difference is what _types_ of things are being worked on. ie, I
don't think that there are a huge number of Fedora/community users out
there clamoring for iSCSI support at install-time[1], but it was
something that mattered for enterprise customers -- thus, it was one of
the things that got a bit of my time in the FC6 cycle. Alternately, a
lot of the work for the livecds, installing from the livecds, etc
weren't things that matter for enterprise customers but are very import
for Fedora. And that's where a lot of my time has been for F7 and F8.
But that said, the features being done for the enterprise case _are_
relevant and interesting to some of the community and so benefit
everyone.

[1] And the fact that it's been at least partially broken for most of
the F7 and F8 cycles (with some late fixups) without anyone noticing
helps to support this claim :-)
