[rhelv6-list] Apache 2.2 EOL - what is Red Hat's story for RHEL6?

[Bryan Smith]

Red Hat already doesn't stay on the latest Apache 2.2 revisions.  They
backport to the RHEL6 version, which is 2.2.15.

There are also different versions in various JBoss products atop of
RHEL6, as well as Red Hat Software Collections (RHSCL).  Both of those
products are maintained for a much shorter duration than RhEL though.

They cover all this in a public (no login required) solution [445713]

RHEL6 is already in Phase 3, so only security advisories (RHSA), no
bugfix (RHBA) or enhancements (RHEA).  I really don't see Red Hat
rebasing this late.in the cycle.  They will just limit their support
of 2.2.15 to probably select security fixes.
