One could say that users are guided into making "Fedora Legacy" the red-haired stepchild in their minds by: - the name... as others said 'legacy' is almost completely negative - the fact that unlike Extras, legacy repos do not come out of the box in /etc/yum.repos.d . - Fedora Legacy had bad press on LWN and elsewhere for security update latencies in its early days - People are attracted to Fedora because of the level of trust they have in Redhat as a brand. When they see RH 'handing over' / disowning a Fedora version they get a bad feeling. It's the having done with it feeling in RH that led to the choice of the name 'legacy' in the first place. Here's a proposal... just give "fedora Legacy" the keys to the standard updates repo when its time is up. Updates just keep coming, from the usual place, users don't have to take action or notice or get fearful. Change the "fedora Legacy" project name to "Stability Response Team", "updates-released monkeymen" or "Deep Update Attack Tigers!!!". Stick an article or two in Red Hat Magazine saluting the work of the maintainers. -Andy
