Based on the mirror metadata, there's basically four tiers of traffic:

Substantial:           F26, F25        (N, N-1)
Moderate:              F24, F23        (N-2, N-3)
Still Chugging Along:  F22, F21, F20   (N-4, N-5, N-6!)
Marginal:              Everything else. (Even F8.)

"Substantial" totals something like 150k unique IPs per day.
"Moderate" totals ~ 60k.
"Still Chugging" totals ~ 40k
"Marginal" totals ~ 15k.

(For scale, all Fedora OS totals around 270k and all EPEL ~ 1.1m)

I think we already dropped F21 and earlier, right? I think F22 is
pretty obvious. Long tail aside, our upgrade update has been pretty
awesome recently, and I'm I'm leaning towards F23 as well, making the
policy simply "N through N-2".

The mirrormanager stats tell a slightly different story, with
updates-released-f21 getting hit like crazy -- I assume that's some
sort of automated process (with it all coming from one or several IPs).
Possibly the same thing is hitting F22. But if it's right that we
already dropped F21, we seem to be surviving this just fine and adding
F22 and F23 _probably_ won't hurt (right?).
