This is easy to attain under the current system.  Just don't upgrade
every 6 months.  The upgrade process is tested to upgrade 2 fedora
versions, so, for example, from f38 to f40.  This is a one year
cadence.  You'll miss some changes, those that are not backward
compatible, but you will still receive security updates.

Incidentally, I'm not in favor of lengthening release and lifetime.  If
I wanted that, I would look for a distro that did that.

As someone else suggested, in the past I have run rawhide for a few
years, and it was just fine, with occasional glitches, but nothing like
'it eats babies'.  I wouldn't recommend it to someone who just came
from windows, but anyone who has worked through issues for a few
releases of fedora should be fine.  And, there are the forums and
lists, so it is possible to get help.  I *do* recommend that if you run
rawhide continuously, that you leave a working stable fedora install on
your machine that you can boot to access the web for help and essential
services in case something goes wrong.  Insurance.
