You might want to consider jumping ship and go into the RHEL/CentOS world.

Stability and predictability is their main strenght. Each release is supported for a veeeeery long time.

Stability and predictability of the core OS. But then everyone uses EPEL for everything else which throws that all out the window.

Uhm, yes and no.

I mean... As long as you don't use EPEL, stability and predictability are pretty much granted.

I've been using epel on some machine and haven't had that many problems, though.
