Err... why rebuild the entire operating system?

At the moment I am confident that we collectively fully understand all
the quirks on the target operating systems.  Currently we are waiting
for Pogo Linux and Jesse Keatings to put together the dedicated Fedora
Legacy server.  When that happens we (the fedora.us team) can easily
help him setup and understand every aspect of how this works.

If that is not operational in time we have a viable backup plan.  For
the past 10 months fedora.us has basically been doing exactly this:
package submission, QA analysis, improvement, building, testing,
signing, publishing in apt/yum repositories.  fedora.us infrastructure
for doing this for Legacy is ready TODAY.  Unless the Legacy members
want to do the necessary discussion to design a new process now, I
really believe the existing fedora.us process with minor modifications
will do the job.

Perhaps just need to tweak our settings and update the documentation.

Only need to add a mailing list to mailman.

RH8 and RH9 I think most of us agree to upgrade.  7.X is less certain
and contingent on if we want to be able to use the latest yum-2.x, thus
perhaps we should have a vote?

No problem.  We've been doing this for ages.  Don't worry.
