Hi Paul,
Back when I was using RHEL and Clones, I use to say "What goes
on in Fedora, eventually winds up in RHEL."
Technically, at some point a specific Fedora BECOMES the next RHEL
(and eventually CentOS) release. IIRC, Fedora 18 got frozen and
became RHEL/CentOS 7. That's what I mean about Fedora being essentially
Beta versions of RHEL.
