Better remove Fedora 28 as it is no longer supported. So probably it is 
hardly used any more, hence regressions will go undetected.

In general, I think that EOL distro versions should be removed after a 
while. Somewhere between 3 months (short-lived versions) and 6 months 
for long term supported versions.

It will not prohibit people from using older distro versions, but at 
least it gives a message that regressions or breakage is to be expected.

This list matches the machines we actually test builds on:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/workers

so we do still test f28 right now. We're in the process of bringing up
some new hardware and removing older machines so as that happens we'll
update the list.

We try and ensure this list matches what we're actually testing.

Cheers,

That seems a good approach to me.
