Or RHEL. +1 As can be clearly seen from the breadth of the update streams, once F+2 is released, F+1 still gets a moderate number of updates, but F only gets major bugs fixed, at best. Some maintainers care more, some less, but it's pretty obvious that our "oldstable" release is not where the maintainers are. Now imagine how well we would support F-4 (36 months) or F-6 (48 months). I'd guess "not at all". I don't see this going anywhere without a lot of new maintainers.
