   Sometimes perfectly stable and working software is suddenly called "legacy" with a negative connotation just because someone tries to make up a justification to use a yet unproven ShinyNewThing in a project. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf

     @jwildeboer @krisbuytaert “legacy”, or as we call it, “production”

     @jwildeboer it has become a bit of a geek snark term as well (possibly separate from the tech-hipster usage) - my niche ISP refers to IPv4 as "legacy", and I noticed NixOS referring to "legacy" distributions the other day (meaning Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, and Arch!)

     @jwildeboer When you see "legacy", replace it with "heritage"
