Stick with n+1+1 month.  Extending a little used release for another 2
months just seems like a lot of work for little gain.  Those that were
going to upgrade likely already have, those that aren't likely won't
care either way.

To put it another way, we didn't drop F20 support at 13 months when
the F21 cycle ran long.  It's been "supported" for well over that at
this point.  I suggest we stick with the formula and stop trying to
make things more complicated.
