Yeah, it's not there yet but I think it's heading that
way, the Fedora Project is still new and a lot of this
stuff is being sorted out, more info in this section of
the site:

You are probably going to start a holy (distro) war here
if you are not careful ;-)

I guess you want a distro where you don't have to pay
anything? I do also, but if a rich organisation wanted me
to help them with Linux stuff I would steer them towards a
enterprise version...

For long-term support Debian is probably one of the best,
also the ability to upgrade between versions with apt is
cool, however I expect that Fedora will have this soon as
well.
