Hello,

As you say th= e Community Lab dropped main and next-* testing for RHEL7 when the requirem= ent for a C11 compliant compiler was added last year, so we should already = be good to go. We don't have any centos7 testing (centos8 was the first= centos introduced for testing at the Community Lab).

<= div>Adding Daxue and John so they are aware the Intel Lab will want to (pro= bably) drop the centos7 testing=C2=A0by 24.07.

Tha= nks!

This patch is too late for 24.03 release, by the time the next one happens,=
we can drop CentOS 7 as well as the old kernel.
