Many changes into Fedora area is instability with development and for attracting new developers.
I advocate the development of overlapping time periods only reason : the developers implement the software into many distributions.
That allow to make changes in time.
... a real problem is spam and inconsistent data and information under Fedora distro.

Well, my thought was this would be a good way to clean out old stale
projects. ie:

right now we have f26 (rawhide), f25, f24

once we branch f26, projects have f26, f25, f24 and if they like they
can enable and rebuild for the now existing f27 (rawhide).

When f24 goes eol and is disabled, look at projects that don't have any
builds anymore and remove them.

repeat each cycle. This means you need to pay attention and rebuild
your coprs for new branches as they appear, but it also means if you
don't the old project disappears.

Of course many projects also build for epel, so they would stick around
for that reason for a long time.

If we move back to having a rawhide/devel/master repo the problem
becomes "which rawhide" ? if you build something in that branch a year
ago, what are the chances it will still work?

Just my thoughts...
