Actually, of course, the constraining factor is the RPM
version and surrounding python gunk, rather than the Red Hat
version, no? A test chassis I backport on has been subjected
to lots of rpm and python variants, and although nominally
redhat-release-8.x, it is rpm-4.2.0-69, and happier with the
'red hat linux 9' variant.
... ah well, off to abuse the YDL 3.0 box with the new
variant. ...
