Could it be changed so that the deathdate is determined automatically when
the package is installed? Perhaps N months (18? 24?) from the build date of
fedora-release?

Or rather than setting it at install time, maybe make it six months after
the last yum update was received? Or count from when the last package was
installed. Or from the last date in the yum metadata.
