You can't introduce any labels, because they collide with the name as 
explained or are innacurate. Labels are not needed and are confusing.

Ok, so you will fix it to wording be "Old Openindiana development 
releases" ?
And you will fix it that there is no any "Devide" in Openindiana in the 
past and now?
That requires that your announcement be rewritten?
What do you propose to be exact wording of an announcement then?

I hope we don't need to put this to the vote,
since it is obvious that /legacy exists and is in use and that "Vintage" 
cna't be used for labeling,
because it hurts proposed /dev repository renewal project.
