Actually not. There is no "LEGACY" status in the AFRINIC database.

status

   Specifies the status of the address range represented by inetnum
   object.

     Status can have one of these values:

     o ALLOCATED PA
          This status is given to resources issued by AFRINIC to Resource
          members - LIRs and are to be used on the LIR's infrastructure and
          customers(End-Users)
     o ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED
          This status is used by AFRINIC in placeholder records
     o SUB-ALLOCATED PA
          This status is given to IP address prefixes that have been
sub-allocated
          by a LIR to its customer which is also an ISP and will be further
          distributed to the ISP's customers
     o ASSIGNED PA
          This status is given to IP addresses registered as being
assigned by an
          LIR to its infrastructure and customers
     o ASSIGNED PI
          This status is given to resources issued by AFRINIC to its Resource
          members - End-Users to be used on their own infrastructure
     o ASSIGNED ANYCAST
          This status is given to resources that get issued under the Assigned
          Anycast policy
     o POLICY-RESERVED
          This status is given to resources that AFRINIC has to
reserve to comply
          with policies that have been ratified


**RIPE**'s database is different:

(whois -h whois.ripe.net -v inetnum)

status

   Specifies the status of the resource.

     Status can have one of these values:

     o ALLOCATED PA
     o ALLOCATED PI
     o ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED
     o LIR-PARTITIONED PA
     o LIR-PARTITIONED PI
     o SUB-ALLOCATED PA
     o ASSIGNED PA
     o ASSIGNED PI
     o ASSIGNED ANYCAST
     o EARLY-REGISTRATION
     o NOT-SET
     o LEGACY


And APNIC is again, different:

status

   The status of the address range represented by the inetnum
   object.

     Syntax:

     Status can have one of these values:

     - ALLOCATED PORTABLE
     - ALLOCATED NON-PORTABLE
     - ASSIGNED PORTABLE
     - ASSIGNED NON-PORTABLE

ARIN and LACNIC whois do not support the '-v' switch on port 43.

Also:

$ grep -E '^status:' afrinic.db |sort |uniq -c
2302 status:         ALLOCATED PA
 155 status:         ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED
 636 status:         ALLOCATED-BY-RIR
1735 status:         ASSIGNED
  11 status:         ASSIGNED ANYCAST
152315 status:         ASSIGNED PA
1558 status:         ASSIGNED PI
 206 status:         Assigned PA
  24 status:         POLICY-RESERVED
 350 status:         SUB-ALLOCATED PA
