It is only good for tech-savy people who can upgrade outside of pre-set
windows.  Legacy extends this to tech-savy people who can upgrade at
some point during the year.  Someday the Fedora Documentation Project
along with Fedora Legacy (if it survives) may extend this to non-tech-savy
people who can upgrade within a year...

Let's face it.  Fedora Legacy use is limited.  The fact that some Fedora
people say otherwise doesn't make it true.
