I'm still running Core 4 and the new DST is coming at me like a freight

Instead of rebuilding, you should install this and all the other updates
from Fedora Legacy. (And then, as mentioned earlier, for the love of sanity,
upgrade to a supported release as soon as possible.)

I thought legacy was now defunct?
But yes. Even though I didn't want to (don't fix what is working fine),
I did finally upgrade my last fc4 machine, a headless server that does
imap, caching nameserver, mysql, and a few other things for my lan. I
would have preferred to keep it fc4 and use legacy, but I heard legacy
was dead project, so I spent a day upgrading and setting everything up
again. I guess I'll have to repeat a month or two after FC8 is released.

btw - if legacy is dead, it would be nice to not lose FC updates until
two months old and a couple months, even if the only updates pushed are
security fixes.

For "utility" type boxes, the latest FC is really not necessary except
when no more updates are pushed, and upgrading those boxes can be time
consuming, so sometimes I like to wait until a release is a month old
and bad things have been discovered and fixed. I bet I'm not the only
one. Knowing there will be security fixes for two versions old would be
a comfort while waiting, especially since purpose of these boxes is to
have open ports.
