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.
Not only is this disingenuous, but it also contradicts Fedora's
"Freedom" policy. Adding a big fat warning message to the installer,
however, is much less of a problem and gets the message across just as
effectively. Just make sure that the "expiration date" is far enough
out in the future that we can be certain that it will occur after the
release's EOL date since we don't know when that will be at the time of
image creation.
