ACK. Not upgrading Fedora in time would be grossly negligent, IMHO.
Also, a lot of Fedora packages make it into EPEL, which can be
installed
on CentOS/RHEL.
If you have a closer look at EPEL, you'll notice that many
packages are
stuck without bug/security fixes , because the foundation underneath
(RHEL/CentOS) is too outdated and out of control of EPEL package
maintainers.
It's one reason for me to favor Fedora over CentOS+EPEL.
