Volunteers are calling it quits on a project called Fedora Legacy to provide long-term support for Red Hat's hobbyist-oriented Fedora version of Linux. "The Fedora Legacy project is in the process of shutting down," said project organizers Jesse Keating and David Eisenstein in a Fedora Legacy mailing list posting Friday. The organizers didn't provide a specific reason for the decision, but a lack of contributions from outside programmers contributed, Keating said in a separate mailing list posting.

"""Couldn't agree more, the Linux landscape changes so quickly that legacy quickly means obsolete."""
I do not find this to be true. I have about 50 users on CentOS4 desktops. CentOS4, being essentially RHEL4, is also essentially FC3, or about 24 months "behind".
It is quite serviceable. I am looking forward to CentOS 5 for a *few* things. But people really do over-hype the rate of progress in Open Source.
Progress in some areas is impressive, yes. But to hear some people talk, you'd think it was "The Roadrunner". (Beep! Beep!) ;-)
