Notification when support ends for oldest fedora core?

Is any notification sent to this list or posted to atrpms site when support
for say the oldest fedora core is dropped? I am still runnning fc10 now,
and I am anticipating the upgrade from myth 0.21 to 0.22.

I have gotten burned a few times in the past when the yum upgrade failed
because I was just a day or two late to catch the waning days of support for
my fedora version...

The support ends the second the upstream support ends, e.g. once
Fedora stops supporting Fedora X, then ATrpms (and actually every 3rd
party repo as well) stop as well. There was once a project that tried
to continue the support (Fedora Legacy), and then 3rd party repos coud
continue the support, but this project stopped several Fedora releases
ago.

So simply watch for the official announcement of Fedora 10's EOL by
Fedora itself.
