A linux distribution like RHEL3 comes with updates for security fixes over time that you have to apply unless you want to be vulnerable to then well-published threats. That's the nature of the game. So while the customer can ask you not to apply your own patches at the very least they have to accept RHEL3u6 rather than the originally released RHEL3. Once you are there, if you then can then just load modules rather than patching the kernel specifically for GFS, then you are good to go.
