Hmm, we removed support for RHEL 5 in PG 13, partially based on the information that ELS for RHEL 5 ends in November 2020. It appears we have misinterpreted that and we can trim the trailing edge more aggressively.
Anyway, this is only a documentation patch. Surely no one will doing their very first install of Postgres on an unconfigured RHEL 6 this year.
Oh they absolutely will. But most likely they will also use an older version of PostgreSQL because that's what their enterprise product supports. And we're not talking about removing the documentation from the old version (I'm assuming).
