I've been a packager for close to 3 years now and I admit until I read this e-mail I wasn't quite sure whether "no updates after EOL" meant "you can't submit stuff to bodhi", or whether it meant "the updates repo is frozen solid, whatever didn't make it in, well shucks". (As we can see, it's the latter.)

Yeah, I think that'd be better then simply dropping them, if it's
reasonably easy to implement. By releasing those updates we make
things a bit nicer for users who are staying on a
now-slightly-but-as-time-goes-on-more-and-more-so out-of-date release,
and we'd be conserving the work of our packagers. But if it would be a
major hassle for infra or releng, then meh.
