If you're paying attention, the majority of Fedora's development work is payed for by Red Hat and its primary servers run by Red Hat. It's not that assembling it's a terribly high cost over development for RHEL (which itself requires a lot of attention from them, they'd be doing a lot of the upkeep anyway), it's that the amount they were charging for support in the consumer product and the amount of unsold consumer product in the retail channels wasn't justifying itself.

Oh, and I would have expected a product clearly labelled as "Workstation" to be missing lots of the server functionality. Hey, you know, I think I'll write a review of Debian GNU/Linux stable and gripe about how it's neither based on HURD nor using the 2.6 kernel already.
