It depends. Many people do use Fedora as a server and some of the releases have been quite stable. I use it because I only backup stuff at home and my BackupPC server is also my desktop. I'm an engineer for my day job :) The good thing about RPM Fusion is that it also supports enterprise linux simliar to the Fedora ELEP repositories. In fact my source RPM contains logic to differentiate between EL and Fedora based systems since the guidelines are slightly different in some areas.
