Actually Red Hat didn't conceive of Legacy.  I've been told that Warren 
Togami (of Fedora.us fame) had the idea somewhat formed and floated it to 
Red Hat during migration talks, and it wound up on the web page.  I saw it 
and was interested in it, and found out that there really wasn't anything 
defined for it, and Warren gave me free reign to pick up the ball and run 
with it.  Now we have Legacy with a more clearly defined goal set.  Red 
Hat has been just a bit busy lately, and they haven't put any man hours 
into updating the fedora.redhat.com website with a more clear definition 
of what Legacy is.  I'll be asking for that shortly.  I had hoped to have 
a full blown website up prior to this, so that they could link to it, 
instead of or Wiki.

And no, when Warren first brought up the idea, the support for 7.3 and 9 
were not discussed.  Red Hat did not know that this was a goal at first, 
but they do now.  They are helping us as much as they can so that we can 
launch our server by the end of this month, and launch services in 
December when 7.3 goes EOL.

Warren, please correct me if I'm wrong at all.
