I worked at a financial institution during a migration from one core system to another. I was their "Administrator of Legacy Systems." At the time I thought that the "legacy" was the data we kept in the system - all of the transaction records, account information, etc. At the time I didn't consider it a pejorative, but seeing how the term draws derision these days I'm not really so sure!
