Can you guarantee that for any fedora release. No. There is the same
level of guarantee, at least at the package level since there are only
volunteers. Of course there is a community and an enterprise behind
fedora proper so there can be a good confidence that the most important
parts of the distro will be maintained, but there is nothing binding.

This has been answered many times. It is not the same to have some more
time of fedora than to install directly a Centos/RHEL, and upgrading to
Centos/RHEL is not always possible.
