Thus we are 2 months out of dropping support for RHEL-7. On the other hand starting from RHEL-7.6/CentOS7.6 glib was updated to 2.56, so on a updated rhel-7/centos-7 the package will work. I'm not sure though how we approach the update of package during the lifetime of the distro as our platform support policy isn't clear on that [2].
I would say that we can assume that we support only the latest minor version even though our support policy doesn't state that explicitly.
Yeah, I would say that's been the expectation, and I can recall at least one occasion when the minimum version for a dependency has been bumped using this rationale. It would probably be a good idea to state this explicitly on the platform support page to avoid any confusion.
