plans for long term support releases?

I would say keep 'proactive' support as it is, (Test 2 of Fn+2), but
at the same time do not remove the older distro from the Fedora
infrastructure for a little longer, allowing 'reactive' updates by
packagers who care.

It has been mentioned by one individual it would be easier on a single
system to update packages than it was by havign two separate systems.
Maybe this would give the impetus needed?

Only remove the distro after a minimum of around 18 months, but make
it clear that after around 13 months it is no longer proactively
maintained.

Ofcourse this will still leave issues over who will maintain major
packages such as the kernel, which presumably require alot of work,
since the current maintainers would have moved on.

PS I myself am against having one version as LTS. To me it means it is
better/more stable than the versions immediately before and after it.
