Could we? Sure... but... there's a big can of worms around the source of
truth as to what releases are in what state. We could add yet another
thing that we have to manually update here I suppose. Not a super fan of
that.
Having done something similar in the past you find out quickly people will use such urls or current/past in configs you don’t expect. Then when Fedora moves from 36 to 37 in current you get angry complaints that 5000 systems are broken because yum update tried to move a live system from one version to another and failed in a hundred different ways.
Someday I hope we will finally solve that...
