"Supported" is wrong. See also "bleeding edge and up to date" below.

I don't think you understand: that is the side-effect of "long-term 
supported and maintained". RHEL 6 will be like that in 5 years, too.

Or you can have Fedora N (or Debian unstable or better, LFS) that's 
bleeding edge and up to date. There are problems with that.

You're better off with heartbeat/drbd ldap cluster anyway. Things like 
password aging are way more interesting (in Chinese sense).
