That could be done, but whats the gain? We have recently been discussing to wait
with EOL a bit so that users only have to upgrade once every year, thats already pretty
often for some users, why disallow them use / pleasure of newer packages?

Now adding newer packages to EOL. thats bad, but why not to FC-current and FC-(current-1)?

Early updaters will upgrade soon anyways, and others are very unlikely to upgrade sooner for one or 2 new packages which they want,
they will probab;y start using atrpms or something like that, which is exactly what we do not want.
