We certainly make no such claim. In fact, to the contrary, see
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/, where I hope we make this
very clear: the Project enables the production of _user-focused_ solutions.
We're not just building a testing ground.
Fedora Server is one of those solutions, and here's its defining
documentation:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Product_Requirements_Document#Fedor...:
From that:
Fedora Server Vision Statement
------------------------------
Fedora Server is the preferred [community] platform for system
administrators and developers seeking to deploy applications and services
that use the latest technology on a stable foundation with effective
resource utilization.
Fedora Server Mission Statement
-------------------------------
Fedora Server is a common base platform with "featured server roles"
built
on top of it. We commit to produce, test, and distribute these server roles.

Does that help?
Perfect! I am going to rub this one into the vendor's face too!
