Backporting has been the goal since day 1 for previous RHL releases.  FC 
releases is still in the air.  RH will not focus so much on backports 
for FC updates, rather they'll go the route of new packages.  How 
should Legacy respond to this?

As for RHL releases, backporting is absolutely the goal.
