Someone who doesn't know the background might mistake the 'new' as a typo, reading it as 'old' - since usually legacy stuff is removed, not reinstantiated.

Better perhaps:
  - core.legacyheaders is no more, the legacy format of loose objects
    is again "the" format; the previously "new" format is not used
    anymore, although we still can read objects created in that format.
