I supppose to continue this argument further without knowing which package,
or what kind of package, we would use, is rather pointless.

I can see that to some extent.  I can also see that the "philosophy" of
Fedora is that it is dead when it is dead, and FL is not part of Fedora.
So it is open to debate.  And depends in part on how much the Fedora
Project wants to officially recognize (endorse, etc) the Fedora Legacy
Project.

Anyway, as I said above, it is rather silly to argue about this until
we decide how (in what package, etc) it is to be implemented.  I don't
think we can truely know what the best state (enabled or disabled) would
be until we know what package we're talking about (a current package,
a new package, etc).
