Exactly.

My problem with those guys is they seem to be slow getting out fixes.
i.e.  The openssl fix is still in their "testing" directory!

I went with the pay Progeny.com service for my legacy 7.3 machine.
They seem to be quicker with the upgrades.  They had the OpenSSL fix
available four days before FedoraLegacy even had it in their testing
directory.
