Define older :) There are two problems on RHEL5 I'm aware of:
 * 1.8beta does not compile on RHEL5 due to a bug in a patch that was
   pushed just before the release. We are working on fixing that
 * 1.8 is going to use a different DocBook stylesheet that does not
   exist on RHEL5 to support conditional elements. This is handy for skipping
   elements that document disabled features.  If you generated the manual
   pages with these old stylesheets, the man pages would include options
   for all features, including experimental even if they were not built in.

There should be no problems on RHEL6 and similar aged distributions.

Obviously you might not be able to test some of the experimental
features that integrate with 3rd party applications unless you have the
right version of autofs or sudo.
