I understand, but I would really appreciate it if the updates created  
by Fedora Legacy would not just disappear. Any chance (like I asked  
before in another post) they could be hosted in a legacy dir under  
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/ or something? The  
download.fedora.redhat.com site still hosts all base, updates and  
extras packages for all Fedora releases since version 1, so I imagine  
adding the FL created packages shouldn't take a lot of extra space.

Nils.
