FC3 moved to Legacy support when FC5-test2 was released. That's the
pattern; FC(n) goes to legacy when FC(n+2)-test2 is released.

I don't think the repository is included by default; you'll need top
enable it yourself. Updates to several packages have been released,
including httpd, openssh, and firefox.

The Fedora Legacy project has a package that will add their repo to yum.
It's all in their docs:
http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs/yum-fc3.php

As I understand it, FC5 will be the first Fedora release to include the
Legacy repository by default.
