Re: [PATCH 00/12] Wave goodbye to RHEL 7 vintage distros

[Daniel P . Berrangé]

Since posting I realized I made a mistake in considering Debian Stretch
versions, as we've already dropped Stretch from supported platforms.

I also made a mistake in analysing Clang versions in Ubuntu/Debian
as I didn't realize they ship many versions in parallel. I should
have been looking at the primary/default version as that's the one
which has full coverage across all host architectures.

IOW all of the min versions in this series are wrong. Most can
actually be bumped even higher than I put here, while Clang was
too high.
