OK, that's a very small point of differentiation, though. (espeically once
CentOS variants gets going.)
We can change things if we find out we are invading each other space,
but I do not think that will be the case.
Personally I see Fedora Server as slightly 'stabler' than current
Fedora, but still quite leading in the software stacks and versions you
deploy on top. Simply more server workloads focused.
For example we are not considering having a 'stabler' kernel or any sort
of ABI promise.
Simo.
