I would imagine that people who are in enterprise settings (and myself with
the laptop) don't always update very often for stability's sake. It is my
guess that building for 3 and 4 would be a good plan, but it all depends on
how much time you want to put into it. And yes, in my experience builds for
RHEL and CentOS have been binary compatible so far. Thanks for your work!
