Hi Alex,

The same as with not doing backports to older OSes, FreeIPA depends on a
*particular set* of integrated services and libraries, not just any. We
choose to avoid some of tough to solve upgrade issues by doing upgrade
by replication. Sometimes battles won by not fighting them.
You mean I cannot upgrade to FreeIPA 4.9.x on RHEL7, either? That was
plan B.
I think at least my messaging was pretty consistent for the past decade or
so. ;)
There were no plans to have FreeIPA 4.x on RHEL 6. Install new replica
on RHEL 7 to migrate.
There were no plans to have FreeIPA 4.7+ on RHEL 7. Install new replica
on RHEL 8 to migrate.
RHEL 8 will see FreeIPA 4.9.10 soon and we are going to switch to
FreeIPA 4.10.x series for RHEL 9 in next several weeks. FreeIPA 4.10
series will not appear in RHEL 8 because of Dogtag PKI 11.2+ dependency
for Random Serial Number features.
Setting up a replica on newer OS release is a preferred way to upgrade.
Fedora was kind of excluded from this policy because there are only two
Fedora releases in support at the same time and they typically very
close to each other in terms of packages provided. Still, we stop
pushing new versions to older releases when that is not possible to
fulfill -- this happened a year ago with Fedora 33, for example, when
pluggable subid support was not present there.
