RHEL 6 goes into Extended Life Phase after 30 November 2020

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 ...).

What are the plans for SL6 after Nov 2020 ?
