It's the GPUs that are considered legacy, not the drivers (304.132 was
released this year, in September)
The 304 driver is required to support older hardware models that have no
support in newer driver series. If you want the newer versions of Ubuntu
to support older hardware, a very common configuration amongst people
not tied into the buy-a-new-computer-to-get-a-new-OS habit, you need to
provide drivers for that hardware.
