Arguably the most popular release was 7.3, and it's support wasn't
extended.  Redhat knows the only way to stop supporting releases is to do
it.  If you start extending it, then you just have a vocal group saying
"well, you extended it once..."  Either a) go with Fedora Legacy or b)
convince another third party to support it (like some are doing for 7.3).
