I can attest to that. If you run anything that has a database, even
websites and email services, keeping all that going across an OS
upgrade is a real pain. With Fedora having such a short lifespan, that
amount of pain means you end up leaving servers running with ancient
un-updated software.
So can I. Usually under RHEL and friends there is some new feature on
a piece of software you can't live without and it doesn't run under
RHEL. I have had far more problems with that that Fedora's upgrade
schedule.
Don't forget you can turn off updates and live with what you have.
