Don't worry about it, install apt-get or yum:

  http://freshrpms.net/

And use that to update it, by the time April comes around
there will probably be a way to do a dist upgrade or the
Feroda Legacy project will be producing security patchs by
then -- I'm sure it'll be fine :-)

Actually what I have been doing of late is using 3rd party
RPMS and/or building RPMS myself, over the weekend I got a
TLS enabled version of Postfix running with self-compiled
RPMS, we just need Bruno to get this list server running
it and we can have encrypted (and publically archived!)
discussions here :-)

Bruno is also on the Fedora Legacy list (I'm not) and he
might want to mention what is happening with it?
