Some initial notes for [wiki:Self:Extras/FedoraLegacy Fedora Legacy] :


 * Beginnings of scope definition -
 * SethVidal post to fedora-test.
 * David J. Bianco's post to Fedora-Legacy -
 * Possibly legacy supported for every N releases (cf. [wiki:Self:Extras/EveryOtherRelease EveryOtherRelease] ).
 * Support popular Red Hat Linux releases, such as RHL 7.3 and RHL 9.
 * 1-2-3-out support model. 1-2-3 will have Legacy Key signed and QA'd. "out" releases will still accept contributions for backports, but no longer Key signed, nor QA'd as heavily.
 * Separate Key to Fedora.
 * Identified components qualified for backporting efforts.
 * Assigned "Contacts" for each identified component to backport.
 * Individual contact's discretion as to when backporting for older release is discontinued.
 * Try to use as much of the existing fedora.us infrastructure as possible, QA/Testing/etc...
 * Make use of Red Hat's bugzilla, to allow security groups
