Currently I

are
still running RHEL 4 (Python 2.3!) which will change in 2012.
RHEL 5 will be supported until 2014 and I'd like to make a point
of
supporting it for a couple of years more.
While I understand the idea of stability advertised for RHEL, I
wouldn't
want to bear the cost of supporting such a policy. I mean, we're two
and
a half developers here, and we should be doing the work for a
multi-million dollar company? I don't see that happen. Red Hat is of
course free to provide old patched versions, but I don't want to
restrict our available feature set (and therefore development speed)
for
that.
Also if someone is running RHEL 5 (or 4) then by definition they are
okay with running older software in favor of stability. Assuming RHEL
ships Trac 0.10 or 0.11, that will continue to work forever.
