I am not sure what bleeding edge RHEL means. Do you believe Fedora can
work out a even longer lifecycle? What exactly are the benefits to users?
By bleeding edge RHEL I mean what will essentially be snapshot and
matured into RHEL and later CentOS.

Question though is about not just enough users but enough contributors
to do the work.
Of course. Things all have to add up.
Still. is this even something we want for Fedora? It's quite possible
that we just don't want to do it, for any number of the problems brought
up throughout this thread. Then let's declare LTS out-of-scope for
Fedora and move along. Otherwise, lets see what *could* be done about it. :)
