If you really want to do this, I suggest starting *opposite* RHEL 6. People
who want something kinda like Fedora 13 to last for a very long time already
have their answer. Wait a year and a half, though, and people will start
itching a little bit. And then they'll want what they picked at that point
to last forever.
Isn't this what CentOS is about? Even though I like this idea to have
something between slow running RHEL and fast forward Fedora.

Yeah, this. :)
If Fedora had been ready to pick up at that point, things might have been
different. But it's putting it mildly to say that the project floundered a
bit for the first few releases.
