Fedora Legacy Shutting Down


From this slashdot.org article:
http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/06/12/31/1837253.shtml

An anonymous reader writes to pass on the news that the Fedora Legacy project is going away. The project has been providing security updates and critical bugfixes to end-of-life Red Hat and Fedora Core releases. From the article: "In case any of you are not aware, the Fedora Legacy project is in the process of shutting down. The current model for supporting maintenance distributions is being re-examined. In the meantime, we are unable to extend support to older Fedora Core releases as we had planned. As of now, Fedora Core 4 and earlier distributions are no longer being maintained. Discussions... on the #Fedora-Legacy channel have brought to light the fact that certain Fedora Legacy properties (servers) may be going away soon, such as the repository at http://download.fedoralegacy.org and the build server."

Poll: Is there many people who have old versions? Do you plan to upgrade?

Well!

They have a lot going on with just two FC releases. There might not be the time or resources to support all of the FC releases. That's just life.

C'mon people stop living in the past. Let the old be the old.
