I am not. I worked hard to make our application support RHEL 8 and then RHEL 9. And then the politics takes over and the big wigs start an extended bickering over who should pay for the OS upgrade… which never happens. Sometimes hardware partners don’t support the upgrades, which means OS upgrades also end up requiring new hardware.
There is something you need to know about collective wisdom; the larger the org is, the lower it gets. Yes the application works on Alma 8 and 9, but the management says ‘no’.
IT installed a firewall between the legacy environment and everything else. Devs threw a fit and so the firewall was configured with a default allow rule. Security was last seen crying into their beer.
Rhel 5? I hope y’all are using microsegmentation and have a good firewall…JFC
…hope…
Why are you ok with this?

I blame Redhat.
Surely your pay is much more than a RHEL license.
If nothing else you could move to Debian or Rocky Linux.

Yes and no
A healthy organization shouldn’t be having this issue.

I’d get out before it implodes. This sounds like a poorly managed company. When something bad happens they will find escape goats.
Well now I want to stick around. Who wouldn’t want an escape goat?
