end of life. Even if EOL is not extended you'd have a version that you
could run until the next version reached that point - and people who
want new features can jump to the next release instead.
No, we can't jump to the next release if it's only in beta. Just because we
want new features doesn't mean we want a beta distro! The earliest
a "stabilization" like that would be acceptable would be 1 month (time to
upgrade) after the next release is out.
And I don't see how the current system is not "usably-stable". Fedora just
works.
