I don't think anyone would sign up as a user for such

is about a fairly specific promise that is very hard to commit to.
The users I have in mind wouldn't actively "sign up" for it, they'd end
up with
it due to inaction, just as they currently end up with no updates at all.

At the moment, it's not clear to me (perhaps because I
haven't read
the appropriate doco...)
- Which Fedora release becomes the base for the next RH/CentOS release.
This is a decision made by Red Hat behind closed doors and only when it's time
for it, not in advance. So we cannot know.
- How I transition my userbase from Fedora support to CentOS support
at EOL
This is just not possible, as explained many times in this thread. See e.g.:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-October/msg01047.html
So I think it is a fair expectation to be able to "follow"
a Fedora
release into its RH/CentOS stabilisation, knowing that the process
exists and that the stable branches are published. It definitely works
for other distros. Perhaps it's possible with Fedora -- hints and
pointers welcome.
It's neither a fair expectation nor possible.
