I was wondering what the rationale was for moving FC<t-2> to Fedora Legacy when FC<t> test2 release is announced. (I.e., FC2 "going legacy" when FC4 test2 is released, as was also done with FC1/FC3.) Is it the "push" / extra resources required to get from test2 to final release?
I don't think this is really Fedora Legacy's decision. Fedora Legacy just picks up a release when Fedora Core drops it.
As for why Fedora *Core* is dropping support for FC2 at one point and not another, that could more properly be answered over at one of their lists. As I recall the original plan simply called for "two or three months" of updates past the release of the next version, in which case both FC1 and FC2 have gotten extra time. I've always assumed that timing it to match a test release was a matter of picking something relevant rather than picking an arbitrary date.
