I see that there is a decision to deprecate the RID graph (#83246) being contemplated. That effort seems to be the reason why this change didn’t get into the
mainbranch (#81115).I think that getting rid of RIDs is a good idea. Before the plan comes to fruition we still need to keep supporting all the RIDs released so far. Therefore, I’m filing this change against the
release/6.0branch, so that the support of Oracle Linux gets on par with other RHEL-derived distros, like Rocky or AlmaLinux.Merging the change should not impose any additional burden when the decision to drop RIDs gets approved. Meanwhile, it will relieve us of the great PITA of manually updating RIDs on every new erratum release.
