It's meant to be _community support_.

It seems to me that this following paragraph from the website should be
removed:

 "The goal of The Fedora Legacy Project is to work with the Linux
  community to provide security and critical bug fix errata packages
  for select End of Life Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core distributions.
  This will allow for a longer effective life for those releases."

After all, the above goes counter to a lot of the comments expressed
here today.  Notably the ones about "test it yourself" and "expecting
anything else is unrealisticaly wrong."

This is still valid, unless you assume that the updates for EOL distributions are useless unless they are very rigorously tested under industry-grade circumstances.


A lot of people obviously disagree with that notion, so the text is correct.

If you have constructive wording suggestion without the abovementioned assumption, I'm sure we'd like to hear it..
