Assuming a system that is automatically updating, but doesn't get upgraded to 
the next fedora release - a system like this needs to degrade progressively but 
securely: after thirteen months GUI applications are unsupported and are 
actively removed by dnf updates; after four years network servers are 
unsupported, shut down and removed; after seven years sshd is removed, default 
runlevel set to 1; after ten years runlevel is set to zero.

This is how you allow longer term support for server applications, without 
supporting old GUI software, and without leaving zombie machines (and virtual 
machines) laying around on the net causing trouble. This would be responsible 
lifecycle management.
