Are you serious? Upgrading a server every 18 months?
No thanks, I rather use a distro that has at least a 4-5 year support
lifecycle for that, than waste my time with unnecessary upgrades of a
server.

Correction:
There is always A SMALL RISK of incompatibilities with new versions.
Anyone who wants next to zero risk will choose Centos rather than
Mandriva/Mageia anyway, so for the kind of distro we are doing
providing updated packages is a much bigger attraction for potential
users, than the small risk of an incompatibility.
