Fedora legacy (or fedora lts) would not be the same than centos. Maybe a
Centos + repository with more recent stuff would be, but currently I
think that there is something in the middle between fedora and centos
that is missing. Now it may very well be possible that there is not
enough interested users to make that distro, but there is also a lack of
support from the boards. Some months ago I proposed something for a
fedora lts that was brought down, maybe for good reasons, but the tone
of the discussions really showed very few support, and I'd even say some
antagonism.
