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.

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.
