The next version of Fedora, Fedora 12, will integrate a Moblin Desktop Environment. It can be easily "groupinstalled" via the yum package manager. The environment has already been added to the Constantine alpha release of Fedora 12 and to Fedora's "Rawhide" development branch. They're seeking testers to "make it great" for the final release of Fedora 12, which will be released in early November.

Fedora isn't all things to some people.
True. But some people like to assert that it is all things to all people. Cutting edge, yet stable enough for production use. And it just isn't so. (Well, perhaps as a LAMP server it might be. XDMCP servers are a lot harder to get right.)
If fedora doesn't work for you, pick a distro that does. That's what I did.
Absolutely. Though I would note that it's much easier for an individual to "turn on a dime" than for an organization. It took a lot of abuse before I decided to just be done with it and move on. I wouldn't be nearly as annoyed with Fedora if it had just been my personal desktop I had to migrate.

This kind of flexibility is one of the nicer things about OSS. Need more than 13 month support, chose one of the distros that offer that. Want a distro that will keep you on the cutting edge of the latest software, chose a distro that offers that. That is the flexibility of OSS, lots of distros targeting different niche needs.
