Yes, the term 'Legacy' has negative connotations that do not fit 9.2 and =
8.4

After discussing it with gjb via Phabricator, the proposed change will re=
ad:

LATEST RELEASES:
>> Production:	10.0,

>> Upcoming:	9.3


This will make it more clear that it is entirely acceptable to install
9.2 on a new system.
