Hi Eric, it will be different depending on if you are talking about  
fedora core < 5 or FC5 and newer.  For those like FC3, and FC4, we  
will provide our own package; for now I've named it legacy-yumconf.   
Those packages will not be incorporated into Fedora Core, they will  
need to be installed by the user of their own free will.  I think  
that everyone is in agreement that for these packages the legacy base  
and updates repos should be enabled by default.

For FC5 and newer, the plan is to have a legacy.repo file included by  
default.  I assume this would be included in the fedora-release RPM,  
which is what provides the other yum repo files, but that is up to  
the Fedora Steering Committee.
