I haven't heard or seen 5.4 being referred to as a legacy release.
5.4-RELEASE was officially announced just a few days ago, and is an
ordinary official release of FreeBSD.



(4.11 is referred to as a legacy release, and that essentially refers
to the fact that it was released *after* the 5.x branch had been
officially labeled as the new -STABLE branch.  4.11 is therefore not
primarily intended or recommended new installations, but mostly for
those who have existing installations and wish to stay with what they
know works.)
