As I mentioned in an email earlier today, the snapshot channel has been
re-enabled.

The plan is to keep support for Red Hat 6.2, but not 6.0 or 6.1. Red Hat
doesn't support older minor versions and they are now something like two
years old. I suspect we'll keep support around for 7.0 (and 7.1 when 7.2
comes out) for a while since they're still relatively new, but I am not
sure about that.
