All,
Thank you for your feedback and discussions. From what we've discussed
so far, we've lazy consensus that nobody wants to use el6 or are limited to
upgrade to el7/el8 due to potential risks.
Moving forward I put forth the following for voting:
- Next minor/major releases (such as 4.11.3.0, 4.13.0.0) will be last
ones to support el6 packaging both for the management server and KVM host,
but users are discouraged from using them
- Next major release (4.13.0.0) will document in its release notes that
we'll stop supporting centos6/rhel6 packaging in future versions, i.e. 4.14
and onwards
- After 4.13.0.0 is released, we will remove el6 related specs,
packaging scripts etc. from the codebase in the master branch
[ ] +1 approve
[ ] +0 no opinion
[ ] -1 disapprove (and reason why)
** PMCs kindly add binding to your votes, thanks.
Thanks.

CentOS7 was released 5 years ago, upgrading is long overdue anyway.
Realistically the next CloudStack release won't be out the door for
another ~4-6 months either.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS
CentOS 6 EOL is 2020

+1 for removing support for CentOS 6.
As Erik pointed out the sites running CentOS6 will have to move soon in
any event and it is probably better to do it now when there is still a
lot of current expertise and information available about how to do it
and how to make any changes to applications.
Upgrading in a project that is under your control is usually easier than
one forced on you by a security issue or an operational failure.

As an operations guy I can understand the want for future updates and
not upgrading, but with the release plan of RHEL/CentOS I don't find
it feasible.
RHEL6 is 8 years old (and is still running kernel 2.6!) and isn't
scheduled to be fully EOL until 2024.
It is true that upgrading requires some effort (and risk) from
operators, but this is work they eventually have to do anyway, so it's
not a matter of /if/ they have to do it, but rather when.
It is also true that current CloudStack releases should continue to
work, it's also possible that someone might back port future fixes to
a RHEL6 compatible fork (you're more than welcome to).
I'd vote +1 to remove support for el6 packaging.
