I think that since a lot of stage1 is shared source, and given that systemd wants `cgroup` in `/sys/fs`, it's not a clear migration.\r\n\r\nFor anyone interested in running `rkt` on centos6, I have a working flock-based patch at https://github.com/coreos/go-iptables/pull/11. (For some reason travis doesn't like it, but I can build rkt cleanly with that repo!)\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/coreos/rkt/issues/comments/157464829","html_url":"https://github.com/coreos/rkt/issues/1725#issuecomment-157464829","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/coreos/rkt/issues/1725","id":157464829,"user":{"login":"adfernandes","id":436770,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/436770?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes","html_url":"https://github.com/adfernandes","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adfernandes/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-17T18:40:02Z","updated_at":"2015-11-17T18:40:02Z","body":"In the spirit of @jaybuff, it might be worth people looking at the [Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux#Product_life_cycle).\r\n\r\nIf you're in the USA or Canada, RHEL6 is the _de facto_ standard for support. Love it or hate it, we make enterprise software and our *enterprise* customers demand RHEL6 support.\r\n\r\nFor many of them, it can be an uphill battle to get EPEL installed.\r\n\r\nSo, it's nice that Oracle has updated the kernel... but for _our_ product, we'd have to produce a \"container\" version for RHEL7+ (and variants), and a \"non-container\" version for the (huge majority of) customers who _demand_ RHEL6 support.\r\n\r\nDo I like it? No. Do I hate it? Yes. Do I _really, really, really_ understand why _everyone_ wants to let RHEL6 die in a :fire: and not deal with all the historic lumps and bumps that such an ancient operating system has? Absolutely.\r\n\r\nBut... the customers get what the customers demand. :cry:"}}
