It is very irresponsible to promote such scenarios.  Unless you are providing 
all the backported security flaws for every piece of software they might be 
using, you should not encourage folks to use Fedora beyond the lifespan that 
is stated by the Fedora project.  If the lifespan doesn't fit your needs, 
perhaps you should look to a different distribution such as RHEL or CentOS.
