I think this is a very good idea.
With the possibility of twice a year updates of more CDs than I can count,
and with the dropping of Fedora Legacy support, I think this whole Fedora-N
thing is going to fall apart.
I for one run Fedora on my machines at home, and the machines I support at
the Lab. It doesn't matter how good or extensive the distribution is, I am
required to have Security updates on my machines at the Lab. With the dissolution
of the Fedora Legacy project, I am seriously considering moving those machines
to Centos. It may not be advanced as Fedora, but I can expect support for
a number of years. Now if Fedora7 became just Fedora, with updates forever
that would solve the problem.
At home, I have one or two machines that I follow Fedora updates on
as they come out, or at least every-other update. However my Firewall is
stable, and I don't see updating it to a new distribution all that often.
Ditto my MythTV installation. Updating there is almost suicide. Still
I don't want to do without security based updates.
Having Fedora7 become just Fedora with updates forever would solve both
problems.
Just my opinions, but everyone I know has the same worries about Fedora
since Legacy went away, and they are looking at other distributions.
