Given that Legacy started before I was a Red Hat employee, and before there 
was even Extras, it had to start externally as a separate project, using the 
name Fedora though.  By it being a "separate" project, all that really meant 
was a different infrastructure.  Since none that people outside of Red Hat 
could access existed, I don't see any other way.

By the time Extras spun up and it was viable to make use of that 
infrastructure for Legacy uses, the interest in Legacy was so low that it 
seemed rather pointless.

That's because at least I don't see the need to try and hammer the square 
Fedora peg into the LTS hole.  Especially when there are nice round pegs like 
RHEL with actual support and SLAs or CentOS with a large and vibrant 
community, both of which are based on Fedora, that fit perfectly into that 
LTS hole.  Why continue beating a square peg into a round hole?
