The users I have in mind wouldn't actively "sign up" for it, they'd end up with 
it due to inaction, just as they currently end up with no updates at all.

This is a decision made by Red Hat behind closed doors and only when it's time 
for it, not in advance. So we cannot know.

It's neither a fair expectation nor possible.
