If they have been moved to "archive" and don't exist on mirrors they won't.  And nobody is going to make them available as that is the purpose of EOL, to relieve people of having to maintain old, out of date, un-patched for security, software.
Well, when F18 repos stop working, or when I really need new software that won't ever run on F18, and when I get a chance to quite likely break my system with an upgrade or re-install, then that's when I'll update. For now, it is running - and that's better than being broken.
