Well a solution within Fedora would be much simpler and easier: Keep Fedora open for longer terms and keep it open for community contributions - This approach (Extending ETA) had worked quite well for FE, but had not been possible for FC, due to management decisions. I.e. if a unified FC+FE project was kept open for an extended period and if it was possible for community contributors to collaborate and co-maintain RH-maintained packages, there should not be many (technical) reasons why an extended life time of Fedora releases should not work.
