Our group uses the Scientific Linux clone for servers or when someone needs a rock-solid it-will-never-break desktop machine. The rest of us use a mix of Fedora or Mint desktop machines because the interfaces are more up-to-date.

When we start to see ARM move into server space we will see Fedora move from secondary to primary support for ARM processors.

@jezuch: That, or "The blobs are too closed!" I can understand that, but... Methinks at this point the Seneca/Fedora port effort will exert more pressure on that than mere whinging will, by pointing out where greater cooperation will lead to more "3: PROFIT!", meaning, more parts shipped.
