People associate a name (Fedora, or RHEL, or IBM) with a certain expectation. If I came along and offered you a support contract for RHEL at half the price, and promising the same level of support, would you take it? I would't... I trust RH, the contract with them is just in case something goes wrong (and I trust that /not/ to happen, going to court to enforce the contract etc is expensive, and not exactly helpful for my business). What you would be squandering here is Fedora's good name. All for "OK, let's LTS this one. But someone critical might get bored in a month or two and drop it with little warning, so take care"? Again, the offer was made repeatedly to (help) set up a SIG, contact interested parties in founding an LTS, ... and /nobody/ has stepped forward.
