No, we did not! F19 was supported until a month after F21 was released:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/Schedule ← F21 release 2014-12-09
https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-19-eol-01-06-2015/ ← F19 EOL 2015-01-06
and that it what needs to happen to meet the promises we made to users. The 
whole point of the support cycle is to allow upgrading to Fn+2 directly. 
EOLing the release early because Fn+2 was delayed totally defeats the point.

If we are not prepared to do that, we simply must not prolong the F30 cycle 
arbitrarily. I don't see why we need to do that to begin with. 
Infrastructure work can be done in parallel with distribution development. 
Extending the release cycle is only useful if it actually leads to extended 
support times for the releases!
