Makes sense. The above proposal is pretty aggressive, basically keeping
a release for ~6 months after EOL, which I think makes sense because
we support upgrades from N-2. This way, updates will be available for
users of F24 who want to update before upgrading to F26 can do that all
the way through the F27 release.

I'm willing to be convinced that this isn't significant enough to even
bother with, though, and that we should be even more aggressive and
just archive all EOL releases.
