I am also strongly against creating Docker images from EOL bits. Kickstart for base image is available

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-docker-base.ks

It actually even contains a how to if anybody really needs such image. Keeping already created images available after EOL is different story.

Which is totally fine.

I'm not saying that nobody should do it, I'm saying that Fedora
Release Engineering does not currently, nor have they ever, do this in
an official context as an official deliverable from the Fedora
Project.

My question to the group is, "should we be doing this as an official
deliverable of the Fedora Project?" and not, "should anyone ever do
this?"

All the bits are available and people can do with them what they
please (within Trademark Guidelines of course), but I'm just trying to
get a feel for if people want to see this done in an official
capacity.
