Hopefully RHEL 6 has mcs_constrained(), and we should probably raise the minimum requirements to that some day soon.
Comment 2 Fredrik cendio 2022-09-27 09:28:30 CEST 
We still get this deprecated message in RHEL 9. Should we do anything about this warning?
Comment 3 Pierre Ossman cendio 2022-09-28 14:14:23 CEST 
We've deprecated RHEL 6, so it's now possible to change the function here. But this fix would just be to silence the warning, so it's not a high-priority fix. We don't think the old function will be removed any time soon.
