So that means we will be supporting something like Fedora 23 nowadays. That is Firefox
41, mock 1.2, dnf 1.1.3, ruby
2.2. systemd 222, kernel 4.2.3, qemu 2.4 ...
Will this be useful for users? Or we will be hit by requests to rebase to a newer
version? To backport some bugfix or
feature?
I can imagine having LTS Fedora version which will be released every three years, but
*only if* we state that only
security issues will be fixed there - and even that will be hard packages like Firefox.
And we strongly *enforce* no
rebases in this version.
Enforcing "no rebases" would actually make a long life Fedora *worse* than
RHEL in places. For example, RHEL rebases libvirt and qemu[1] is almost every
minor update.

[1] Might no be obvious to some as there's actually 2 distinct QEMU RPMs
shipped, one never rebases & one always rebases.
