[ale] Fedora grousing

[Beddingfield, Allen]

There is something to be said for stability...stable releases...not just blasting out the latest updates with minimal testing.  Sorry, but trying to track a moving target of PHP releases that break heaven knows what with each revision may be okay for a shop with a handful of servers.  When you start talking about enterprise datacenters with 500+ servers, you need some stability and consistency.

Yet the adherence to decade old software doesn't help businesses perform. Who cares if CentOS runs better if it won't run the software the business needs to run? Since the business hires programmers, and they are as keen as we are to stay current in our respective fields, they have to do things like "move forward".

The stone age tools system admins try to require developers to use is probably the biggest fuel for the "DevOps" fire. One that we will be consumed by.

The fact that so many web people think developing on a bleeding-edge workstation distro is a sane idea just throws fuel on the fire of my dislike for Ubuntu.
