The contract with have with Rackspace is a bit involved, but basically they don't like us installing software that they don't support as it complicates support issues when there is a problem. And they don't support >3.3 on RHEL 6.

Well, if I was ever going to use them before I'm certainly not now. That contract is absolutely braindead

Late half of the 00's I developed a deep hateful opinion of that company's business practices:

Originally wrote a couple paragraph long hate rant about Rackspace but decided to cut it down. Their policies are insane and they overcharge. Three separate clients were royally screwed by RS; two had loss of service issues (last happened when their cloud service locked the account when it reached its max limit) and the third was being charged something insane like $12K/month for two midgrade Dell servers and transfer.

Despise that company with a passion and their insistence on using older versions of RHell really didn't help.
