I'm not 100% sure about it being in the Software app interface itself. It might be kind of hard to keep it separate from updates in the UI there -- especially for something that is only used once every six months or so.
I can see that. My main thinking is that Software already has "system updates" — it'd be nice to get to the point where Fedora upgrades are "big system update!" from a users' perspective.
Maybe having an "upgrade" button in the details screen in the control center, and notifications when a newer version is available will be enough.
When a release is completely EOL, would it be possible to have a notification that is persistant in some way? Not necessarily in the shell chrome (too much?), but maybe whenever you go to Software. Or maybe "All Settings" — could the Details icon change to show an alert, or gain a visual flag in some way?
