What I was trying to suggest was that right now, there are situations 
where a new deployment on 8.1 is still completely reasonable and 
possible to justify in the Enterprise Linux space, whereas I don't know 
of any situation where 7.4/8.0 can be similarly defended as a good 
idea.  That makes supporting 8.1 quite a bit more valuable to the 
community than the earlier releases IMHO.

Moving forward, I was hoping that we all get RHEL6 as a deployment 
option in the not so distant future for a platform that integrates 8.4 
from day one; I didn't think that deploying RHEL5 was going to be the 
only choice for too much longer.
