I am in favor of the intention that when you upgrade,
those packages from previous releases are removed
automagically.  After an upgrade I typically expect
the system and packages to be supported and
maintained in the same way as if I installed new.

And if I need some package that is no longer in
Fedora, I will build it for my personal or organizational
use and accept the additional support burden
explicitly and not by accident (and I often start by
leveraging the old .src rpms from Fedora).

FD: I spend time after every upgrade to remove old
retired packages, and not having to doing so would
make life easier.
