I think the problem with Ubuntu is that it is trying to tie in its enterprise offerings with regular releases. This is completely different from the Fedora/RHEL combination.
Maybe Canonical, with all its money, should just sponsor CentOS. That way we get a free enterprise operating system near the release schedule of RHEL. ;-)
Maybe Ubuntu, with all its focus on the desktop, should create easy-to-use-yet-complete-enough desktop tools for server applications such as Apache, FTP, Subversion, etc. Then we may have the good and stable backend of RHEL, without the horrors of system-config-*. system-config-* sucks by the way. :-)
