Currently, each Fedora release is kept alive for 13(+/-) months. There
were dozens of threads about shortening or prolonging period -- but I am
not sure if something like the following has been ever discussed:
Each N-th Fedora release -- where N%3==1 -- is alive for 7 months.
Each N-th Fedora release -- where N%3==2 -- is alive for 7 months.
Each N-th Fedora release -- where N%3==0 -- is alive for 19 months.
Additionally, maintainers might be encouraged to push their system wide
changes into N%3==1. As well as they might be encouraged to make the
Fedora N%3==0 their best bread.

Just to be sure I understand: when N%3==1 or N%3==2, Fedora N is no longer supported as soon as Fedora N+1 is released, right?
The N%3 seems a little bit like RedHat vs. Fedora to me, with a rolling cycle of 6 Fedora releases rather than just 3. Indeed, AFAIU, every around 6 Fedora releases, a new (LTS) RedHat release is cooked (Fedora 13 => RedHat 6, Fedora 19 =>? RedHat 7).
