How is it against "First" to continue providing the future also for hardware 
of the past? "First" means that Fedora *delivers* the latest&greatest, not 
that it *requires* the latest&greatest. Doing the latter actually goes 
against the "Freedom" (where is my Freedom Zero, run the software as I 
wish?), "Features" (desupporting old hardware = removing a feature) and 
"Friends" (people dropping support for my hardware are not my friends!) 
foundations.

As I already pointed out once, continued support for old hardware does *not* 
preclude shipping the latest software first. You keep bringing up this false 
dichotomy. The repetition does not make it any truer.
