 RedHat backports a lot of new features into packages, and there are always 
repositories out there with more "updated" software. At work we use CentOS 
specifically because it is stable, and well tested. If we need newer versions 
of software/packages, we'll find a repository for them, or we'll create our 
own.

I don't think I'd want to manage 750+ machines running Gentoo or Arch :)
