The bottom line .. we don't make the decision whether or not to use

will there come a CentOS 6.11 which will be capable of TLS1.3 or HTTP/2?
I'm sure there will come a CentOS 8, but when is it probable to be
released?

We have no idea .. we don't design what is in CentOS.  If Red Hat adds
those things to RHEL-6 then we will put them in CentOS .. If they don't
we won't.

And for example, if RH does not backport openSSL 1.1.1, you will not get EDDSA certificate support for TLS  1.3.  Now you might not care about this for your servers and just continue to use ECDSA certs. Clients will increasingly encounter EDDSA certs and it will be interesting to see how this is handled in older clients.  We have had years to spread support for ECDSA before it started appearing from servers.  May not for EDDSA.

Self-touting, I have an Internet Draft out on using openSSL command line to build an EDDSA pki.  I did the work on Fedora29-beta.

I think all the other TLS 1.3 features are in the latest 1.0.n version of openSSL.  Of course that is ALSO a backport issue.

I have been told that if you set up your client to only accept TLS 1.3 connections, the Secure Internet gets really small really fast...


one of the most important things (for me), as I already noticed there
will be quite differences
between CentOS 6 and CentOS 7, not only systemd or not, also Apache 2.2
and 2.4
and many other;
the config files won't be the same, will there be a migrate helper or
something like this
which does the config conversion to get a CentOS 7 or maybe then CentOS 8
that does exact the same things the old CentOS 6 did?

No, there is no automated way to move from CentOS-6 to CentOS-7 .. and
we have no idea what will be in CentOS-8 until Red Hat releases RHEL-8.
We have no idea what will be in CentOS-6.11 until Red Hat releases
RHEL-6.11 .. and we have no idea what will be in the release of CentOS-7
until Red Hat releases RHEL-7.6 .. literally, we take the source code
they release .. modify it for Trademarks and Logos .. and release it.
Until it is released, we don't have a clue.
