Fedora Legacy was close to dead already much earlier, failing to deliver
updates for Red Hat Linux 7.3 and 9. Originally, it had started with parts
of the fedora.us infrastructure (the Fedora Extras predecessor), using the
same bugzilla, the same review'n'release process in bugzilla, a human-driven
build-system, but not inheriting the existing web of trust. Even simple
updates took four or more weeks to be looked at in bugzilla.
