The policy is as follows; Supported Distros/OSes: * Alpine * Arch * CentOS Stream * Debian * Fedora * Fedora Rawhide * FreeBSD * OpenSUSE Leap * RHEL * Ubuntu * Windows Supported Versions: Distros or OS versions in General Support will be tested. Support will be dropped for EOL versions or versions older than 5 years. RHEL 7 has been granted an expectation to this due to widespread use, and will continue to be supported until the tech board decides it is out of widespread use. Additionally, "binary compatible" distros will have a single distro selected for testing. For example, RHEL 7 will be treated as providing testing for CentOS 7.
