This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for

Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated

address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
