It's such a big change that we're discussing about it right now.

You do not need to update any apps in Legacy. Apps in Legacy remains the
same and does not get any further development work. 

It's there so:
1. Users can browse pre-PR1.2 apps that are already working (apps without
needing to update to work with PR1.2)
2. Apps in Legacy repo not working in PR1.2 gets updated and put into the
new Extras & get removed from Legacy repo too

Post-PR1.2, all development effort should be put into updating apps for the
new Extras.

I hope it's abit clearer now.

Cheers
