I thought it was odd I have not seen any updates or email from the Fedora
Legacy project since June so I checked their website and to my suprise:

"Red Hat Linux 7.2 and 8.0 support from the Fedora Legacy Project has been
officially suspended due to lack of community involvement. While several
attempts to rally community involvement have been made to date, it does not
seem likely that enough involvement will appear to resume support. Users of
RHL 7.2 are urged to upgrade to RHL 7.3. Users of RHL 8.0 are urged to
upgrade to RHL 9 or newer. "

Anyone know when this happened? There is no indication of the date this
occured on the website and I would like to know how long I may or may not
have been vulnerable.

This really blows since I find my 8.0 dist of Redhat to be more stable and
problem free than RH 9.0 or any of the newer Fedora releases.
