I disagree with that very strongly.
If we present the _appearance_ of a distro with security updates, while
in fact there are serious security issues being unfixed, then that is
_much_ worse than the current "That distro is EOL. Upgrade before you
get hacked" messaging.
For anything to have the Fedora name on it, it _must_ have guaranteed
security fixes for at least the highest priority issues.
(That's not a decree; I'm not in a position to make such. It's just
common sense.)
