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 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!)
@srtcd424 It's an old pattern. Talk working solutions down to promote your unstable ShinyNewThing as the supposed future and declare all problems with ShinyNewThing to be an important part of the journey towards Utopia ;)
