State of 7.2/8.0 in Fedora Legacy

Wasn't AS 2.1 built off RHL 7.2?  So wouldn't the patches be fairly easy
to come by in most cases?  I think that was the argument before...

No such argument for RHL 8.0 though.  It is different enough that backporting
patches is non-trivial.

Why not?  I don't think there is anything in 7.2 that isn't in 7.3, is
there?  And if 7.2 does follow AS 2.1, then it should be pretty easy
to track...

Not arguing that, just think we should discuss both options before we decide.
My memory is a little vague as to the AS 2.1 tracking though, so correct
me if I'm wrong...
