[FROG] [dev] Any CentOS/RedHat 6 FRR users out there?

Jim -

This is about PR: https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/2705

We would like to introduce a new library dependency.  My understanding
is that this library is not easily available for 6.X releases of RHEL
at this point in time.  As such we are trying to understand what we
would like to do.  We do not think it is unreasonable for people to be
still using old releases.  Typically in the past, as suggested earlier
in the email thread, we say release Y(and future versions) of FRR is
not supported on older versions of release X.  I am not necessarily
saying what we will do here though as that this is still early in the
figure this out process.
