My hunch is that a couple thousand a week are probably due to cable

That's about how many new IPs appear for Fedora 7 or Rawhide each
week. But there's just no way to tell cause other than hunches. The
folks who hang out in IRC #fedora as well as users@ list susbscribers
can confirm people show up pretty frequently with newly-installed EOL
Fedora.
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.
