That would be already a nice option, but considering that probably all
FC users are modding their yum.conf an update will drop the new
yum.conf onto an yum.conf.rpmnew file which may go unnoticed (unlike
rpm/apt most Fedora update tools don't mention this upon upgrades).

Having the dormant fedora legacy entry from the very beginning
uncommented would be the smoothest and safest transition mechanism,
but it will generate unneccessary hits & load on the fedora legacy
server. OTOH it is only one hit (an empty header.info) per yum
invocation, so it is probably still managable.
