I know that they do... but it is rare, in my experience, for production systems to favor Fedora over Enterprise Linux and, when you're running QA for those production systems you use Enterprise Linux so that your environments match.  In practice, those that want to run Enterprise Linux without paying for the support contract run CentOS or one of the similar derivatives.  They don't run Fedora.

Not exactly the same as the Fedora/RHEL relationship but similar enough.  They don't compete with each other; they compliment each other.
