I've thought about it as well, but I still wonder good it would really
do.  For a random example, I run a full Fedora mirror including the
archive module.  There is a number of hosts hosts still pulling repodata
for Fedora 7 and one lone host that checks for updates for Fedora Core 5
that will obviously never come.

People will update when they want, or not.

Plus force-modifying MOTD, or doing anything that's so invasive that
someone is guaranteed to notice, is pretty antisocial.  At best anything
that you would use to do updates (like dnf or one of the graphical
applications) could complain about the release being EOL, and I suspect
that some of them already do.  That's really the only proper way to do
this.
