I'm thinking here about SCLs (or possibly other stack/env tech) that might
target current supported Fedora but have a longer lifecyle of its own (with
best-effort compatibility for three years).
I keep coming back to this idea because it's what people ask me for. :)
Ah I see. I think present thinking around SCLs has revolved around lifetime
for indivudal SCLs but having a repository wide lifetime could be either
better or a useful additional guarantee.
