On el6, vdsm still builds, runs, and exports clusterLevel <= 3.5, with
no feature loss relative to 3.5. This has been done per gluster request.
However, maintaining this furhter as high costs: we keep testing el6, we
need to make sure nothing breaks there, and there's a lot of legacy code
that we could start deleting.
Sahina, would you explain (again... sorry for not recalling the details)
why ovirt-3.6's vdsm should keep running on el6? I'd like to see if
there's a nother means to solve the underlying gluster issue.
This was only because downstream gluster + vdsm would continue to be
supported on RHEL 6.
