- charcircuit 5y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong but doesn't RHEL stick to a single kernel version and then backport patches?
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoOfficially yes, although we can argue about how much you can "backport" and still count. But even so - if new code requires a newer C version and thus newer compiler, it's harder to backport.
