Hi Jesse,

> Number 1, change "errata" to "update".

Fixed. For my clarification; what exactly is the difference between
these two words? Red Hat publishes all updates as "errata" with the
subcategories "security alerts", "bugfixes" and "enhancements"; that's
why I thought "errata" would be appropriate.

> Number 2, feel free to drop the 7.1, I was mistaken.  You list "7.2, 
> 7.3, and 8.0, as /both/".  Shouldn't that both be more like "as 
> /these/"?  All FC releases will be supported, please see my other email

Fixed.

Fixed; but I don't publish concrete plans for FC1 yet, because it's
neither officially published for amd64 nor outdated yet.

What does that mean for the published page? IMHO we should dynamically
provide a link to a near mirror, based on the IP of the user, and give
the option to list other mirrors. Alternatively, show the fedora.us
download URL, but let the link target be a page to select a mirror
instead of a direct link to the fedora.us download server.

Any suggestions?

I'd prefer a simple solution that can be used _anywhere_ on the site
whereever download links are needed.

I'll include this in my still-to-do end user "How to use Fedora Legacy"
page. Actually I find that title better than "Download", because using
Fedory Legacy isn't actually like downloading and installing a package,
but that's open to discussion.

Fixed.

Fixed. How long will Progeny provide support? I haven't found a concrete
statement on their website, so how can we tell that we're providing
longer support?

> Number 8, change the "to" to "two".  To answer your question, it's more

Fixed, but still not-so-easy to understand, I think. Maybe a small graph
can clarify this? If yes - volunteers? I'm not good at such things.
