The big difference between Fedora and Centos other than Centos lagging behind Fedora is that Centos is a server distribution and the repository will be around for 10 years.

I've been burned a couple of times when I inherited unmaintained systems built on desktop distributions (in my case Ubuntu) where there repositories were long gone.

No, Fedora is related to RedHat. Fedora is community driven and bleeding
edge, from which RedHat is derived. CentOS is a rebranded (from sources)
 RedHat. People will commonly refer to CentOS systems as being RHEL
(which they are for the most part).

OpenSuSE uses rpms, and it too has an Enterprise version, but that's
about all that it has in common with Fedora/RedHat/CentOS.
