More info on this. There is no easy way to automate moving from
drbd-0.7.x to drbd-8.x ... so I can not see CentOS ever totally removing
drbd-0.7.x OR making drbd-8.x an auto upgrade from drbd-0.7.x in
CentOS-4. I have no problem adding drbd-8.0 (drbd8) or drbd-8.2
(drbd82) in parallel with drbd-0.7.x for CentOS-4.
There are plenty of things (GNOME, KDE, everything really) in CentOS-4
that are not going to be upgraded ... just because that is how
enterprise distros work. I mean, there is still a CentOS-2.1 with
gnome-1.4 out there and people still use it ... security issues are
backported. So as long as it works and there are not unresolved
security issues, we will keep drbd-0.7.x around till the end of CentOS-4.

Maybe even a drbd82 for both centos-4 and centos-5 that goes along with
drbd (0.7.x in c4 and 8.0.x in c5).
Do I understand that 8.2.x is going to continue on forward forever (as
the 2.6 kernel seems to do) ... or will there be a 8.4.x, etc?
