I'm sure you don't kick puppies.  But I think you may have missed the
smiley at the end of my last sentence?  As in, not to be taken
seriously..... 

FWIW, if it were feasible (as in profitable) to extend the life of a
Fedora release then someone would have done it by now.  Yet it seems
unnecessary since there already exists the likes of RHEL, and its
clones, that already has the properties that would exist in extending
the life of a Fedora release.
