Fedora and long term support

Maybe someone already suggested it, but I'll try...

What if every second release of fedora is supported only for six months, and the other second for a year and half? This would be enough that people don't have to constantly upgrade if they don't wish, would also allow someone to use Fedora for a server because of some must have feature and then to gradually transition to RHEL/CentOS.

It would look something like:

0     6    12    18    24    30    36    42    48    54
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
<-A--------------->
      <-B--->
            <--C-------------->
                  <-D--->
                        <-E--------------->
                              <-F--->
                                    <-E--------------->

This scheme could be further manipulated to get shorter/longer supported releases.
