As far as I know, there is no official policy on this. However, if
it's an officially supported release (whether it's RHEL, ubuntu, etc.)
we should support it. I believe we were still supporting RHEL3 for a
while, though we can remove that now if there are hooks in the code to
support it still.

RHEL4 is not EOL yet, therefore I do not want to quit supporting it in
HEAD. About 50% of the systems we have in cobbler are RHEL4, though we
have quit trying to build new ones.

That ticket should either be closed or put on hold, since we will not
be acting on it for at least 9 months.
