I would recommend agains that, i think it is easier if you change
the backends. For example in the network tool you would add lines like :

  my %dist_map =
	 (
	  "redhat-6.0"   => "redhat-6.2",
	  "redhat-6.1"   => "redhat-6.2",
	  "redhat-6.2"   => "redhat-6.2",
	  "redhat-7.0"   => "redhat-6.2",
+	  "redhat-7.0"   => "redhat-6.2",
	....

And :

@platforms = ("debian-2.2",
              "redhat-5.2",
              "redhat-6.0",
              "redhat-6.1",
              "redhat-6.2",
              "redhat-7.0",
+             "redhat-7.1"


so that it is suported. If you are using cvs then you can also make
a patch to send upstream when the testing is done.
