1 year old code is not legacy. Legacy is a useful category. COBOL is legacy. Maybe it is unclear exactly where to draw the line but if that were a valid reason to discard conceptual categories we wouldn't have any.

I like the definition from "Working Effectively with Legacy Code", Michael Feathers says legacy code is code without tests.
