I think it would be much better to spend effort in making upgrading Fedora
easier and safer, so that people have less desire/need to stick with old
versions of Fedora.
Also, EPEL means that RHEL and Centos can get most of the extra
packages from Fedora. Right now, there is a choice between bleeding
edge but lots of packages, and stability and fewer ones.
