 From a developer's point of view you are right. But I believe that the 
majority of risk takers would upgrade before the end of life simply 
because they want the newer stuff. Like I said, I am at a loss to 
understand who your target audience is. I identified my concept of a 
target audience, one that doesn't want the instability of an upgrade. 
Who is your target audience and how big do you expect this audience to 
be? Are there any statistics from Fedora legacy which would indicate the 
demand for the product? Any surveys indicating what people wanted from a 
Fedora legacy.
Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to discourage you. I am trying to 
help you build a better use case.
