Honestly, I feel that supporting FC1 for so long was a mistake.  It set a 
precedence that I really don't want to continue.  Legacy picked a timeline 
that fit well with what Fedora produces, and what RHEL (and rebuilds) offer.  
Going further than that is really beyond the scope of the Fedora Project as a 
whole.  Falling back into our 1-2-3 and out set schedule will be the best 
thing, and to get to that point we need to drop FC1 and FC2, to make room for 
FC3.  We need to concentrate on doing better for the releases we do support, 
and adding to the workload is not the way to do this.  Fedora is great, and 
the lifespan we can give it is a good, but if you need more, you should 
probably be looking at RHEL or one of its rebuilds.
