Greetings,

Well, there is Red Hat for professional support. Or if you don't like 
that option, Oracle Linux.

For our critical infrastructure, it will probably remain Red Hat proper 
for that reason. However, my small team and I will probably continue to 
pursue RH training classes then feel comfortable enough to maintain the 
hundreds of non-critical servers with a community backed variant.

Give it a month or so. I heard about another project starting up to be 
yet another variant today. I have a feeling that there will be more. And 
the better ones will emerge and I think we will all be able to make a 
more informed decision on our own directions in January when the initial 
excitement has died down. I do believe it is wise that you are following 
and keeping informed about the variants.
