You apparently didn't read what I wrote, so once more, in a nutshell:

* I did continue to maintain my packages in FE for those Fedora distros
RH had discontinued, as legacy/convenience to the users of those
distros, because it doesn't cost me much, despite I don't have any
personal use for these discontinued distros.

* I am still offering to do so, as part of FEDORA.

I would not be surprised if the same considerations would also apply to
other FEDORA contributors.

In other words: By you personally insisting on a separate Legacy Project
and RH not granting community access to Core, an option you + RH could
easily "buy-in" is being wasted. This is your decision, not mine.


Now, the situation as it had persisted thoughout recent years is about
to change again: Core seems (?) to be in progress of being opened. 
I.e. it's up to you+RH to pick up this opportunity to change something
about "Legacy". I am offering to contribute to a "Legacy within Fedora"

Unfortunately you and Warren seem to be choke this option once more. So
be it - Your decision.
