First of all, I don’t use my Fedora installations until their end of

Fedora Workstation will display a nag notification once per week when a
newer release is available, so unless you uninstall GNOME Software or
ignore all notifications, you should at least be aware that a newer
version is available.
I had thought we had daily nag notifications once the release has
reached end of life, but maybe I was imagining it because I can't find
any evidence that this actually exists. I think GNOME Software should
look at SUPPORT_END in /etc/os-release and nag more frequently.
Please do not clutter the user experience with such _additional_
informations. The user on such workstations are not always the
administrator and such informations would not help/change the
situation either. I actually do a lot of config work to disable
such UI "features". For my case the user does not even understands
or notice it when a major upgrade was done (albeit some UI improvments).
Of course the active usage of Gnome software or dnf could and should
provide such information in a prominent way ...
