Lets not assume that.  I'm tired of hearing people cry, and releases
will get dropped, and a strict adherence to the timeline will be met.
It was a mistake of mine to ever extend the life beyond what we set
forth.

Because we're in the process of moving our stuff over to Extras like
land, so that we could possibly get folded into the Extras version of
it, or it could all fall under our name, but for now a separate team is
needed.

Also if we ever get to the point where all of Fedora lives outside, then
the core/extras line is really blurred and then we can really merge the
teams.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see Legacy folks in the Extras
team (and hopefully vice versa).
