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.
