NACK, this is effectively dropping support for RHEL-6 without explicitly
saying you're doing this.

When we bump min required versions, we need to clearly indicate which
distros we're expecting to be supportable given the new min version.

As & when RHEL-8 makes a public appearance of some kind, then we can
drop RHEL-6, but even then we need to consider what other distros are
targetted (Debian, Ubuntu, SLES, etc) when picking the next min version.

egards,
Daniel
