It does need to be decided.  It was left somewhat in the air from the Fedora 
Summit where we introduced the idea of a 13~ month livespan, going from Test2 
to 1 month past GOLD for a lifespan.  We punted on any decision wrt FC-5 (and 
even 6) at that point.

Given that we still don't have an ability for community folks to contribute 
updates to existing Fedora releases, I think this really needs to be answered 
by RH engineering management for how much work they are willing to sign up 
their engineers for, and that really isn't a decision that FESCO can make.  
We can certainly decide what should happen to Extras packages in accordance 
with the Core lifespan.
