The only thing is that it's _really hard_ and almost certainly requires
full-time workers to make happen. I know this because we tried to do it with
Fedora Legacy. That was moderately successful at extending the lifetime of
Red Hat Linux 9, but not at all at continuing longer-term support for new
Fedora releases.

If people are interested in stepping up to make this happen and have a
long-term sustainable plan, that would be awesome.
