Based on the above, no sooner than when Red Hat is done supporting RHEL 6 (well, upstream can always decide to bump the minimum requirements it and make Red Hat do the downstream back-compat work in isolation, but there's enough Red Hat contributors that it shouldn't surprise anyone that back-compat work patches will still be posted upstream...) -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
