(So this question was about ControlPersist on Enterprise Linux variants that still have a downlevel openssh.)
If you want to upgrade your openssh client this would indeed allow for ControlPersist on EL. I don't know of a repo that contains one, though I'd love to see EPEL-newer-versions-of-things-that-are-default-on-EL sometime, and maybe disabled by default :) We don't officially have any recommendations on what you use for managed hosts, and will work with managing basically almost anything. For not needing to do a lot of OS upgrades and having a stable base, both RHEL/CentOS 6 and Ubuntu LTS releases are very very popular here, and also get a large amount of testing. Fedora and Debian are used to a lesser extent. Most roles on Galaxy seem to be targeting Ubuntu or RHEL/CentOS right now. CentOS 6 on the destination side won't incur any problems as ControlPersist capability is only needed on the client.
