Damn, I forgot to talk about RHEL.
But yeah, RHEL-6.x is not EOL'ed, but the GDB that comes with it is from
Red Hat as well, and contains all the necessary patches to deal with
whatever "internal idiosyncrasy" that it may need. OTOH, I know Gary
has been using RHEL-6.5 to test his upstream patches, so to answer your
question, it is still possible that people may still want to buid/test
upstream GDB there.
My opinion is that we shouldn't need to worry about internals of each
distro (I know we *have to do that* sometimes, but that's not an
excuse), so I still hold the cleanup patch for approval :-).
