What's so important about the fedora infrastructure that it is required
to release updates past EOL ? The rules I can understand (even if I don't
agree) but those can be replicated elsewhere.

But why didn't you try ?
Your proposal sounded like a good idea (although I think you're right
that not enough people are interested in it for it to be viable) and
I think it's a shame that you didn't go ahead and implement it.
