I know about users for which Centos/RHEL is not right because it is too old, fedora would suit them, if they had not to upgrade after one year. Currently I have to propose them to install ubuntu, because there is nothing in the fedora/RHEL market that suits them. Not enough power user for fedora updates every year, need too recent stuff for RHEL. Another category who be those who want to use a controlled set of next technology preview in production environment and are willing to do some testing and help with bugs, hence would have choosen fedora, but cannot if they have to update each year.
On this point, I know I tend to be pretty liberal with my personal machines (and tend to keep them at the latest !rawhide), but for my work laptop, while I run Fedora for a variety of reasons, I tend to be pretty conservative and upgrade to the latest only when forced to by distro EOL or some other compelling reason. A LTS plan would make sense for reasonable situations like this.
No, it wouldn't.
