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
