redhat has an FC-1 tree that is different from the fedora legacy FC-1
tree.
i think it would be advantageous to merge these trees. this would
alleviate any confusion as to which FC-1 tree is the "correct" FC-1
tree. furthermore, tree convergence would set a clear path for future
fedora legacy maintenance.

i think fedora legacy should stick to minimal security fixes, as much as
possible. does tree convergence imply that the FC-1 tree would have
more than just minimal security fixes? that is not clear to me.
could the redhat folks live with a "merged" FC-1 tree with only minimal
updates? how does redhat use their FC-1 tree?

again, it is not clear to me that a "merged" FC-1 tree implies more than
minimal updates.
it would be helpful to hear someone from redhat describe how they
currently use their FC-1 tree, and how they plan on using the EOL'd
trees in the future.
