As I see it, it's "having to change your system to change it again a
couple of months later".
Probably most of these people do not want to use Legacy in longer terms,
but want to have see an overlap between 2 releases, because they skip
releases and are afraid of seeing a gap between these releases.
Another difference is marketing. "FC3 by RH" sounds differently than
"FC3 by Legacy".
... but.. FC3 isn't by RH. It's by the Fedora Project. Fedora Legacy is
also under the Fedora Project....
