We address why Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) tends to use older versions of QEMU, KVM, and other packages compared to other distributions like Debian and Proxmox. We explain how RHEL's long-term support life cycle ensures stability by maintaining consistent versions throughout each major release, such as RHEL 9. This approach minimizes disruptions in production environments. Additionally, we touch on the predictability of RHEL's release
schedule, with major updates occurring every three years.
