Because it's a waste of time. If he's running on RHEL or CentOS (he said 
he'd test on CentOS) he's using the same software that carries the 
certification demanded by all the largest companies in the world and on 
which red Hat bets its business.

If he's still testing on Fedora, then testing on CentOS is essential. 
Fedora is quite likely to be broken, but probably better than Apache's 
apache and PHP's PHP because they have undergone additional testing and 
hammering by Good Folk from Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress and any other 
significant open source project using PHP.

I think it has to be something not certified such as Drupal or Roger.
