About the same time VPN platforms started migrating away from it
I feel like that’s kind of a case of circular reasoning though: we move away from it because it’s legacy, and it’s legacy because we’re moving away from it… Mind you, I’m no expert on VPNs; this is just something I thought I’d bring to attention here.
That’s what makes software legacy; it falls out of popularity. Plenty of terminal applications have barely changed since the 80s, but they’re not “legacy” because they’re actively used and maintained.
