Isn't it true the install media ISOs are available indefinitely? And
if so the security cat is already out of the bag, so that's not a very
good argument. I'd say if we wanted to do something better it would be
an image that's usable for both VM and containers, and would be the
state of that version at the time it went EOL, i.e. it has all
available updates baked into it. And then de-emphasize the original
ISO as the way to run older versions of Fedora.

I tend to agree with the rest of the choir here in saying we shouldn't make it easier for people to use EOL releases. It will likely add unnecessary burdens onto us and our systems when people come to ask about EOL Fedora releases in Docker. Not to mention, we should be encouraging people to move up, not stay put.
Honestly, I think if people need a platform that lasts a long time, they should be looking at CentOS with EPEL, SCLs, and/or other repos depending on what they need.
