No, you don't need to reverse your opinion at all.

Personally, I voted you down because your opinion was stated in a sort of offhanded manner that does not do the subject justice.




The manner is neutral. It's only a couple words. You want me to write a whole essay on the pros and cons of legacy? In that case I would invite a negative vote because in those cases you can disagree. In this case it's just a statement that is true.

It's mostly a derisive term that seems to mean: "Old technology I don't like."
