All,
With CentOS8 around the corner to be released sometime around the summer, I would like to propose to deprecate CentOS6 as support management server host distro and KVM host distro. Non-systemd enabled Ubuntu releases have been already deprecated [1]. The older CentOS6 version would hold us back as we try to adapt, use and support newer JRE version, kvm/libvirt version, the Linux kernel, and several other older dependencies. Both CentOS6 and RHEL6 have reached EOL on May 10th, 2017 wrt full updates [1]. If we don't have any disagreements, I propose we remove el6 packaging support in the next major release - 4.13. But, if there are users and organisations that will be badly impacted, let 4.13 be the last of releases to support el6 and we definitely remove el6 support in 4.14. What are your thoughts?
