Why not help by validating the process of using Fedora legacy instead of
treating it as some kind of unwanted step child?. I dont understand the
aversion. There is a lot of work from QA to documentation that can be
done by the community. Please step up to do it instead.
Very well written Rahul.
I strongly believe that an important goal of Fedora is rapid forward
progress in Open Source Software. That is where the Red Hat engineers
should be focusing their time and energy.
Fedora is supposed to be a community project, and Legacy is where fate
of an older distribution is put within the hands of the community. If
there is sufficient interest in maintaining a distro, then Legacy will
keep it alive. If a given distro falls into disrepair, then the
decision will eventually be made to retire it in order to better
allocate resources on distributions that the users care more about.
