As a suggestion, create your proposal focusing around opening the ACLs
on the older package branches, and keeping the build infrastructure in
place for them.  Don't mention "LTS" and take baby steps.

FESCo will likely ask for input from Infrastructure and Rel-Eng as well,
given that Rel-Eng would be required to push updates, and Infrastructure
will have to allocate storage for this.  Getting the conversation
started with those groups now would be advised.  Infrastructure has been
moving EOL releases to archives, so other changes would be needed to
point repos to the right locations would be needed also.
