  Press Release DRAFT:

  Who:

  The Fedora Legacy Team, made out of volunteers.

  What:

  The Fedora Legacy Project is an ongoing effort led and maintained by
  volunteers, which aims to provide security and critical bug fix errata
  for older versions of Red Hat Linux (RHL) and Fedora Core releases (FC)
  after their official End of Life, thereby allowing a longer effective
  life of those releases, closer to the lifecycle that most IT departments
  are used to having with the RHL versions that are currently in use.

  The project is still gathering volunteers and resources, as well as
  drafting the policies and security requirements, other press
  releases will be published as the project progresses. With current
  resources and volunteers it seems possible to start providing
  errata’s since January for RHL 7.3 and RHL 8.0 when these releases
  will reach their End of Life by Red Hat Inc.

  How:

  Groups of maintainers will produce the errata for their packages,
  these errata will undergo some classification and QA to be then
  released. Digital signatures will ensure the integrity of the
  process.

  Errata will only be created to fix security problems as well as
  serious bugs; no features will be introduced on the Errata’s, unless
  they are required for the future management of errata’s on that
  release.

  Information on the project is currently available from the following
