Reread this thread, I am really getting tired of reiterating everything
over and over again.

In a nutshell:
* Lift acls from all discontinued Fedoras
* Keep the buildinfrastructure alive.
* Allow fedora maintainers to fix bugs in discontinued Fedoras.

Alternative: Officially extend Fedora life-times.

Alternative: Discontinue EPEL and replace it a full RHEL/CentOS
derivative as part of Fedora.
