[linux-security] supported RedHat distributions

[Martin Siegert <siegert@sfu.ca>]

Dear linux-security subscribers:

as reported earlier we will stop supporting RedHat 6.x at the end of this
month.

By now it has become known that about one week into April RedHat 9.0
will be released (I have no insight into RedHat's version numbering
scheme, but I assume that they fell victim to their marketing department
and decided to call the new release 9.0 instead of 8.1). I am planning
to support 9.0 as soon as it will come out, i.e., I will provide a
patched RedHat 9.0 distribution from sphinx.

I am not planning to provide a RedHat 8.0 distribution.

Regards,
Martin
