There's no conscious effort to break RHEL5, its just not a focus for the 
developers.
So we rely on reports like yours to tell us when something breaks - and if 
anyone cares.

All the above seem pretty easily resolvable and we'll happily include them for 
1.1.11 (hint, test the latest .11 beta to make sure there are no others :)

If there are, they don't seem interested in upgrading.

Also, for what its worth, pacemaker is now supported on RHEL6.  Perhaps that 
adds incentive to update :)
