Basically, no affect on K12LTSP.
fedoralegacy.org, while a good idea, never really took off. There was
only ONE fedora legacy update to FC4 - which hardly qualifies as good
support.
The good news I have heard in the discussions about the demise of the
fedora legacy project is 1) potentially extending the life of the Fedora
core support, and 2) building "extras" repositories for the up-coming
RHEL5/CentOS5. If both of these are done, it will largely fill in the
gap that fedora legacy intended to bridge.
