This problem will be resolved in a future major release of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux. Red Hat does not currently plan to provide a resolution for this in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux update for currently deployed systems.
With the goal of minimizing risk of change for deployed systems, and in
response to customer and partner requirements, Red Hat takes a conservative
approach when evaluating changes for inclusion in maintenance updates for
currently deployed products. The primary objectives of update releases are to
enable new hardware platform support and to resolve critical defects.
