Hello, can someone please expound a bit on SCE 2.7.0 deprecating support for RHEL7? It looks like I can still get a catalog applied on my RHEL7 systems,
sce_mount_info
is even more noisy, but otherwise it looks like I can still use SCE on them while we're still transitioning away from that release.

Typically the 'supported' being removed doesn't necessarily match to 'working'. So it may still work on RHEL7 systems, but you wouldn't be able to log tickets/issues with the support team to have it addressed and there wouldn't be security fixes released targeting RHEL7 specifically. While you might still be able to get it to work, you are essentially operating in an unsupported fashion on those systems. For SCE, I believe this also means that there are no longer acceptance tests being run against RHEL7. That being said, my understanding is that for EOL platforms there is the option to pay for extended support on EOL systems. I'm not in sales so I don't know the details of that, but the account management team can probably help out with that if you want to still get support for RHEL 7.

Perfect, thank you. I can use this to push those projects to work on their OS upgrades.
