I would recommend against it, as you run the risk of breaking
instances for people not living within the four corners of the
package management system
As a comparison with 'real history,' SKV had a 'this
distribution is EOL' tool as well, and I believe abandoned the
tool, because people do not WANT to be automatically protected
;)
I am not against having a 'nag' function:
1. at deploy and each start time, see if there is a
recipient set for the 'root' owner, and as necessary, prompt
with a wizard to configure one, or to decline it
2. check timestamps and as the results of the wizard
imply, nag
3. optionally change /etc/issue to nag
4. extend to taste
