I have been told that support for DRBD is supposed to be phased

This is massively incorrect for SLE HA. (drbd is part of the HA add-on,
not SLES.) We have absolutely no such plans, and will continue to
support drbd as part of our offerings.
Where did you hear that?
Don't know about RHEL but on Centos you get DRBD from ELRepo, not even
EPEL, so I expect it has not been in the RHEL for quite some time.
Unless RedHat's offering it as a separate add-on to their paying
customers (but the last rumour I heard was they wouldn't do it 'cause
they didn't want to share the loot with linbit).

When RHEL 6 was released, Red Hat wanted to reduce their support
overhead a lot. So many things that used to be supported were dropped.
DRBD, unlike most other dropped programs, is still supported, just not
by RH directly. They worked out an agreement with LINBIT to allow
officially supported RHEL systems to be fully supported when they ran
DRBD. The agreement was that RHEL users who needed DRBD support
specifically would be routed to LINBIT for that support.
So though it's changed, it is still supported.
