And after that they'll stop upgrading. Linux may not be much of a
target for worms currently, but that was different in the past and
could easily be different in the future. I do not believe that scaring
users away from upgrading is in the interest of the community at
large.

The other option is to split security-updates away from other updates.
Then you have to deal with half-updated systems, with all the lovely
dependency problems that involves. It can be done in a purely
commercial distro, where you can tell people to do that kind of boring
thankless work. In a mostly community-driven like Fedora it would be
difficult.
