My understanding is that it's a limited release cycle to aid in
stability from a development point of view.
Nope ... tracks along with RHEL, just like CentOS, PU-IAS, and
others
If the patch cycle is as
quick as Cent/RHEL, it may be prod-ready.
net patch cycles have historically track out substantially
identically; CentOS just completed a re-engineering cycle with
the 6 major release which, with any luck, will shorten the
release turn
But saying "It's
indistinguishable from CentOS" just makes me think "Why not just use
CentOS then?" If it lacks any compelling, distinguishing feature , I
don't know why I wouldn't use the ubiquitous, widely supported option.
Under that argument, simply pay for RHEL [1]. Diversity is
good
