I have to say that I, personally, would not want to rely on Fedora
Legacy for updates to a system I cared about.  The project is trying
hard, but it doesn't have the kind of resources it needs to keep several
distributions (current RH 7.3, 9, FC 1 and 2) current, and the update
streams simply stall for months at a time.
