Me too on the Debian comment.

A link huh? How about RedHat's errata site directly from the horses mouth:

   http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/

First notice that RedHat <7.1 is not even listed for support. Second notice
the EOL dates for the current releases.

I noticed the same thing. For a while I seriously thought I was the only one
that cared about this! It is very surprising how much lack of press this got.
Maybe because nobody wanted to piss off RedHat? I don't know...

In any case, I consider this a big deal and it has it much harder to support.
