Legacy...

The template is capable of creating older, non-supported, versions of
Fedora tested all the way back to F14.  A couple of the systemd Fedora
versions (F16 and F17) are problematical BECAUSE of systemd.  But the
template can create them and most of them do run.

Unless you have a specific need for some of those earlier upstart and
sysv based legacy versions, you should just avoid them.  They're created
using the -R {relver} option to the template.  The CentOS containers
will be sysv init containers since RHEL/CentOS 5/6 were based around
earlier versions of Fedora.
