Comment (by cypherpunks):

 The oldest version of RHEL still supported is RHEL 4 (till March 31, 2017
 [https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/#Life_Cycle_Dates
 source]). The oldest version of CentOS still supported is CentOS 5 (till
 March 31, 2017 [https://wiki.centos.org/Download source]). I have added
 them to the table above.

 RHEL 4 brought the minimum versions we should support down to Autoconf
 2.59 and Automake 1.9.2. Are these reasonable requirements?
