Answer: RHEL5 is not a replacement for a lifetime extended current Fedora.
Extended for how long? Fedora releases are supported for roughly 13 months (1 month after N+2 is released). Actually longer if you take into account the slips that inevitably hit during each release cycle.
So, what _exactly_ are you asking for?
That infrastructure for EOLed Fedora is not shut down such that maintainers can keep on maintaining packages, with an emphasis on critical updates only, as long as they want. In my proposal I said no more than 5 years (but could be 3 if you want I don't care), and as long as it doesn't mean specific extra work for nonvolunteering people in the infrastructure team.
