Not I.  Fedora is very stable and has a lot of enterprise and datacenter
features that have only just now made their way into distros like
RHEL/CentOS/SL 6.  Things like KVM, LXC Containers, MD5 signatures for
BGP (is there any other use for TCP MD5 signatures than BGP?).  You can
not get these sorts of things in RHEL 5.  You can, more or less, in RHEL
6 but, what's next.  You want to stay ahead of the competition, it's the
way to go.
