[ovirt-users] virt-viewer disabling rhel6

[cmc]

Thanks Michal, that is a huge help. We're busy building an image for EL7
but it isn't yet fully finished, so we're still on 6.x for now. We're
updating to 6.8 and then 6.9 in the meantime. Interesting that it still
works for 6.7 though - I can't explain that. I have updated
RemoteViewerSupportedVersions and restarted the engine and it works like a
charm.

Cheers,

Cam
