I didn't see any announcement here (or elsewhere) but it looks like xCAT
2.18.0 was released with RHEL 10 support back on June 22nd, per
https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/wiki/XCAT_2.18_Release_Notes? (Although
I see it still shows 2.18 in the xcat-core repo under "rc1" as
https://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/2.18/rc1/, per the release notes...)
For what it's worth, it would have been nice to have a formal
announcement posted at least to this list to let everyone know...

Per the release notes above, it sounds like only packages for RHEL 10 were
made available at release time. However, I'm seeing 2.18.0 updates showing
up in the xcat-core and xcat-dep repos for RHEL 9 as well now (as
2.18.0-snap202606291947)...is that expected? If so, should the release
notes above be updated to reflect this now?

Also, can someone confirm whether or not the legacy, deprecated conserver
"support" still exists in 2.18.0 (exactly as it did with 2.17), assuming we
already have it installed from previous releases? Or did support get fully
removed with this release (with goconserver truly being the only option
left)? We have some legacy components that still require the use of legacy
conserver, so just wanting to know what to expect if we update to 2.18.0. I
know the conserver package is no longer in the xcat-dep repos, but we still
have it installed from older versions we updated from and it's still been
functional with xCAT at least through 2.17...

Thanks.
