I mentioned this in the bug, but preupgrade needs to know about the
EOL date of a release too.  Hence:

http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt

includes an eol-date entry:

[Fedora 12 (Constantine)]
stable=True
preupgrade-ok=True
version=12
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-12&arch=$basearch
installmirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?path=pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/$basearch/os
eol-date=20101202


This is kept updated (mostly by me), it lives in the fedora-web git
tree in infrastructure.

Thanks,
Matt
