We probably need to attack this trend more aggressively, like putting 
expiration dates into the installer after which it'll just refuse to 
install, stuffing fedora-release-n+1 into the Fedora n updates repository at 
Fedora n's EOL date etc.

It is completely unresponsible to install obsolete releases which don't get 
security updates anymore, and some people just won't listen.
