They are saying "no guarantee." That's different - it's legal
terminology. I think they'll be quite prompt because they *do* want
people to use Fedora, they just prefer to have people use an Enterprise
version of the OS for $500+/year.
Anyway, when something needs a patch, often it's some GNU program, and it
will be patched at the same time for all Linux distros.
