    Thank you for opening this enhancement request with IBM. I have reviewed it with my team. Unfortunately I don't believe that we'll be able to accept this request. We need to balance where we invest our resources and unfortunately we haven't seen much interest in Oracle Linux to justify the level of effort needed to certify the new OS and maintain a separate branch of code for it. I appreciate you opening the request however and would encourage you to utilize the tool again if there are other ideas that we should consider.


    Sincerely,

    Chris Sanders
