I would rephrase it in a positive way: Legacy is merged with Core and
Extras under one umbrella redefining EOL time marks. E.g. there is a
shorter total lifespan, but during that lifespan there is more
manpower assigned to get timely security fixes out.

The current compromise is that FL was extending Fedora by 12 months,
where now it will be only 4 additional months. Reviving FL in these
terms would mean to try to extend a couple more months. But let's give
that new model a new chance first and measure demand and available
manpower after the first implementation of this model.
