Whether or not a "scientific spin" is placed on Fedora, such an approach
does not address the fundamental issue. Fedora is an enthusiast
perpetually alpha or beta distribution, never designed as a stable,
"bulletproofed", production distribution. For many EL users, clone or
TUV, the reason is stability. I do not need nor use beta environments
except for testing or for those situations in which I am forced to use a
Microsoft product (e.g., MS Win under VirtualBox under Linux). Thus,
any Fedora environment simply does not address the needs of my work.
