First I would like to say to those who say Fedora Legacy has failed, that
it _did_ work (i.e. didn't fail) for the most critical time period and the
most critical OS version (RHL 7-9, FC1). If it has failed, or is failing,
it must not be forgotten that before it failed it worked exceedingly well.
Second, I'm fairly comfortable with saying that if FC goes to a 13 month
support cycle, FL is basically not needed anymore. IMHO, people can upgrade
once a year when presented with a known/documented release cycle, and known
documented alternatives.
Now, I don't know that FC will change, or if FL is needed any more even
if FC doesn't change. But I do know that FL saved my life by being there
when I needed it, and while I don't really need it any more I'm forever
grateful to it for being there when I did need it.
