look at SUPPORT_END in /etc/os-release and nag more frequently.
Highly recommend other Fedora editions consider similar notifications.
I don't think more nagging is going to help. It is just going to be
considered yet another annoying nag to ignore or click away. Like it or not,
non-technical users are NEVER going to upgrade to a new operating system
release. Not now, not 10 years from now. Until their computer physically
breaks down, at least. There is just nothing you can do about it.
I believe this is overly pessimistic: people tend to upgrade their
Android and iOS devices and applications, because the update process is
low-friction and well tested so that people tend to trust it.
I have personally had multiple Fedora upgrade issues due to lack of
space in the root filesystem, so maybe Fedora is not yet at a point
where we can unconditionally launch into upgrading, but it's a technical
issue that can be corrected.
We already have SUPPORT_END so I think it makes sense to use it.
