Sure. The issue is that if I pushed 2.4.2 into rhel6 and you start using features in it, then what happens when you upgrade to RHEL7? RHEL6 is ahead and there will be feature regressions. > Basically, I want to know if RHEL6 can accept some elements from the > 2.4[.0] release if I ask really really reeeeeeeeeally nicely. File a rebase RFE request through your support channel and that would be a good start. Technically there is no reason why RHEL6 can't use 2.4, the ABI is the same. -Steve
