User blog comment:Jimeee/Skyrim 1.9 beta update adds Legendary difficulty and raises level cap (Updated Apr 8th)/@comment-8002474-20130409162031

Random Input.. I've just barely noticed I had this patch for probably a month now, barely started playing with it 3 hours ago.. oops?.. but it appears to be Unlimited with how many times you can reset a Skill via Legendary ReSet, essentially making leveling up indefinite, which I enjoy personally. So if you have already figured out the tricks to help you train sneak quicker, or the illusion trick that raises the skill quickly to help boost your level, you can essentially abuse it indefinitely by only resetting that ONE particular skill to legendary and retraining it to 100! If you do this you never have to lose perks off all your tree's, just the one you are abusing for power leveling options.

Other then for the purposes of getting a chance to max every single perk, there doesn't appear to be any further asset to this Legendary Skill up, not that i'm complaining, but I wouldn't reset all your skills to go legendary without some kind of additional perk for having the skills at legendary?

If anyone has any further input on this please let me know, at this time it just appears to be a nice way to mass level up and abuse perks.. any further purpose for the Legendary Skills?
