Only a slight nitpick.  Fedora will now have a 13~ month lifespan, designed so 
that you can go from say Fedora 7 to Fedora 9, one month after Fedora 9 is 
released.  For the last few months though your updates may be security only, 
which isn't a bad thing.

There is a lot of Fedora use in the HPC world too, where they want the latest 
kernels and such all the time.  A depressing amount of use in the dedicated 
hosting space too, Fedora instances are handed out to customers but with no 
real plan to migrate them at the end of those 11/13 months.
