is clamav a redhat product ?!?! I don't think so. That being said, i see absolutely no point at all on saying clamav should do this because redhat does that.

Anyone wishing to be updated with a 10+ years rhel install, should call redhat for that :)

    my 0.02 cents ...

Red Hat typically now supports each release of RHEL for at least a decade, and that's not including any additional extended support periods one may purchase from Red Hat in addition to the standard production lifespan, so in a Red Hat world, I would say a decade is the *minimum* period one should support dependent libs if you want your software used on that platform.

RHEL5 may reach end of production on 31 March 2017 but extended life-cycle support continues until 30 Nov 2020, so preferably support for pcre-6 should continue until then.

A huge number of mail admins want to install a RH mail server and forget about it for 10+ years knowing it is supported and will just work, and that things aren't going to continually break with each and every update. I'm currently in the process of installing a new mail server to replace a RHEL5 server, initially set up in 2007, and only because RHEL5 is EOL. The same hardware (touch wood) is still going strong and hasn't missed a beat in 10 years. If I could afford the extended support from RH I'd probably let it run for another 3 years.

So your opinion on this will be influenced by your perspective. I would argue that RHEL has a large enough installed userbase to warrant supporting it for at least it's 10 year production life-cycle.
