Phil suggested no rename of the trees, I can update the description in
git.netfilter.org to place LEGACY there. Concern as you mentioned is
that it may break existing links/scripts. Not sure git support
redirections from old repo URI to new one...

I think it's fine to apply a patch to add the "-legacy" postfix as we
do in iptables.

Are you OK with this approach?

Thanks.
