I agree with this point. Fedora is a very aggressive distribution and
trying to extend the lifetime by switching to a "try not to break
anything by patching old versions" at the end of a distro life is wrong
in my opinion.
To me, if I want to deploy Linux in an enterprise where I require 5
years support, I buy a RHEL subscription. That's what people pay the
money for, long term support.
If I want to install a box for my parents that I can update to the
latest Fedora once a year at Christmas - I choose Fedora to save some
cash.
That's the way I think about Fedora.
