My understanding is that it's a limited release cycle to aid in
stability from a development point of view. If the patch cycle is as
quick as Cent/RHEL, it may be prod-ready. 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.
