This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. It has been proposed for the next release. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative.
This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Given that it bumps soname (meaning the scope of the change is very large), and we'd still need to do work to get bug fixes for the Android specific support, that's a no-go for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
