Yes, legacy is defunct. But installing whatever updates are available is
better than not installing them...

Do you mean "two years old and a couple of months"? You probably want
RHEL or Centos.

Do you mean two releases and a couple of months? The plan, I understand,
is that FC5 will be supported until a month after F7 is released, which
should be close enough...

Seriously, that's the sort of use for which RHEL or CentOS is suited --
set it up, set up updates, and forget it.
