Thanks for that clarification Matthew, I guess I will upgrade soon then. I always wonder if upgrading is as good as performing a clean installation (that's an additional question).
I use Fedora and Debian unstable for "future proofing" workflows that will be used on LTS systems.
A fresh install is needed every few releases as "orphaned" cruft that updating doesn't remove accumulates.
Debian's aptitude has a category for "obsolete and locally created" packages that catches most of those.
Upgrading generally preserves configurations and "locally created" packages, so workflows may run on
after an update but need extra work after a fresh install.

Well, I did a search asking something for "Fedora release support" and didn't get much.
Then I consulted this site, https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle/
That site says exactly what you confirmed (13 months after the release). However I got a bit confused in the section called Maintenance schedule where it says "''Release n'' is supported until four weeks after the release of ''Release M+2''". I didn't know if 'n' and 'M' were the same thing here.
Its all clear to me now though,
thanks a lot,
Anil
