As far as I know, there is no official policy on this. However, if

we should support it. I believe we were still supporting RHEL3 for a
while, though we can remove that now if there are hooks in the code to
support it still.
Well, you just provided us with a policy...
RHEL4 is not EOL yet, therefore I do not want to quit supporting it
in
HEAD. About 50% of the systems we have in cobbler are RHEL4, though we
have quit trying to build new ones.
There's nothing stopping you from provisioning RHEL4 with or without
my patch. Again, I find it hard to believe that people would do a
major version upgrade of cobbler on an almost EOL version of RHEL. I
guess that's what the stable branch should be all about.
That ticket should either be closed or put on hold, since we will
not
be acting on it for at least 9 months.
Set to closed/wontfix.
