I think you wanted to write F<=30. F30 ends in 2020-04.

Isn't "dnf" stage too late? Should it be filtered sooner? E.g. enforced by
Bodhi? Current Bodhi prevents from pushing updates into EOL-ed Fedoras.

Or it could be prevented from building in MBS. When MBS expands platform:[] to
all supported Fedoras, it could also take other stream's EOL into account. Not
only platform EOL. It could save Koji resources.

While your approach simplifies the decisions a user should do, it also
prevents from providing streams that have a shorter life than Fedora. E.g.
non-LTS Java only has a life span for 6 months. How should be delivered these
"rapidly" developed projects?
