Hello,
As you say the Community Lab dropped main and next-* testing for RHEL7 when
the requirement 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).
Adding Daxue and John so they are aware the Intel Lab will want to
(probably) drop the centos7 testing by 24.07.
Thanks!
