I like the concept, but....

(warning, taxonomy discussion....)

The announcement for os-release included
the following statement:

   Please prefix your keys with your distribution's
   name however. Or even better: talk to us and
   we might be able update the documentation and
   make your field standard, if you convince us that
   it makes sense.

And while I would prefer the effort to get
the field standardized (perhaps END_OF_SUPPORT=?)
any name in Fedora should be something of
the form REDHAT_.... or FEDORA_.... I would
probably also prefer the stanza be differently
named (I prefer the term EOL or EOS) but the
important point (to me) is the prefix.
