I don't *want* to keep 2.6 support around, and I do understand
that the requirements work will be made easier. I'm just trying
to understand what other impact dropping it will have.
It will break RHEL 5 (maybe early 6 too) and older RH systems.
Ubuntu older than 9 I think (which is beyond unsupported). Not sure
about other Linux dists.
Basically if RHEL 5 is no longer a valid target and we are sure all
of the 6s have updated then let's nuke it from orbit.
I don't believe there was any release of RHEL-OSP that targeted RHEL
5. As for RHEL 6, the last version that got support for it was OSP5
which is based on Icehouse.
Speaking of RDO, there were attempts to get nova pieces of Juno
backported to RHEL 6 (mostly for CERN). Other than that, I don't think
anyone considers to run anything Kilo+ on RHEL 6, and it will probably
fail to work properly since a lot of underlying platform components in
RHEL 6 would be not ready for new features. (RHEL-OSP could
potentially get all the needed pieces in place, but there was a
decision not to go this route and instead require RHEL 7 for anything
Juno+).
Some Sahara plugins (HDP, CDH) supports only CentOS6/RHEL6. In order to
generate images for them, even if diskimage-builder some scripts need to run
on the guest directly. So at least diskimage-builder should keep Python 2.6
support for guests (RHEL6 ships with Python 2.6)
In that case, please comment on
