I'd love to see this. It could e.g. keep a service in the process of being decommissioned alive a little longer without having to do the usual upgrade.
Currently you have *6 months* to move over to the next Fedora...
s/6/13/ ?
I think the problem is that people have a hard time seeing what each other is talking about. I think this is what the upgrade policy is.
Release EOL Fedora 8 2007-11-10 2008-12-25? Fedora 9 2008-05-13 2008-05-XX Fedora 10 2008-11-25? 2008-11-XX Fedora 11 2008-05-XX 2009-05-XX
If Fedora were to make its schedules of 6 months.. and I am at Fedora 8, I have 7 months to move from Fedora 8 -> 9 since 8 isn't available til 6 months out of my 13 month support. Now the lifetime of Fedora 8 would be 13 months.. but my window to upgrade before I lose security is 7 months.
