Why would you like to pack and distribute files from the legacy
folder? Those look useless to end users.

Because they allow to see who contributed what and when. They are indeed
of little interest for end users (and the contributors' names, just the
names, are of course already listed in the README files), but it was a
specific request I received from previous contributors and it would be
fair to them to respect their wishes.

Also, this allows to build a complete genealogy of the project, which is
better now that we have to maintain it in multiple repositories.

I see that on the same day I wrote this (I didn't check if earlier or later) an incomplete update of dictionaries was done.

While data are probably OK, I would prefer that the update it is completed according to my original mail, so that users won't be confused (thanks to the new CHANGELOG and README) and that anyone wishing to create derivatives of the package or its portions can easily find all history in the documentation in the "legacy" folder (and the will of earlier contributors is respected).

The incomplete update has been ported to the 3.5 branch too, if I see correctly, so it would be nice to complete it there too.

Thanks,
  Andrea.
