RHEL 6 goes into Extended Life Phase after 30 November 2020 https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__access.redhat.com_articles_4665701&d=DwIBAg&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=xdsq_-yfxyv4u436QPzTlvoboJre6--0C8ZP78G418g&s=pimS4u5lwVfKTsON_KPYTjuabklN_5czx7WraQgEGss&e= which means that Red Hat customers/licencees will have to purchase Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS) Add-On subscription to continue to receive limited software maintenance and (most) technical support. I imagine that SL6 support will be difficult to maintain in the present manner once there are no longer updates from Red Hat (although I suppose the GPL might allow a licencee to make the source available ...).
