This is the one-year notification for the retirement of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4 Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS). This notice applies only to
those customers subscribed to the Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS) channel

Description
In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy,
Extended Life Cycle Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will be retired
as of March 31, 2017, and active support will no longer be provided.
Accordingly, Red Hat will no longer provide updated packages, including
Critical impact security patches or urgent priority bug fixes, for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 ELS after March 31, 2017. In addition, on-going

We encourage customers to migrate from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 to a more
