Fedora Legacy is not maintained by RedHat. Anyone can release updates for as long as they want. No problems there. But RHN updates to the Fedora core are explicitly stated to be available for up to 3 months after the next release. But as mentioned in the FAQ there isn't even a SLA for this period of updates.
i haven't fully understood how the bugfixing/updating-process will work:
does red hat provide bugfixes for fedora core over rhn (for free?), and the bugfixes for the add-ons are provided via apt4rpm or yum for the external reps? or will all the bugfixes (provided by red hat or the 3rd-parties) be avaible over rhn?
Here is how i interpret what is available on the Fedora web site:
Fedora Core updates _will_ be via RHN. These maintenance updates will only be available for 2 to 3 months after the following release of Fedora. That means you'd get 6 to 9 months of updating for each release from RHN. After that you'll have to rely on 3rd parties. In any case RedHat explicitly states there will NOT be a Service Level Agreement attached to _ANY_ package updates for Fedora whether in the maintenance period or not.
Check out http://fedora.redhat.com to make your own interpretation.
