Release Notes:	Not Needed Known Issue
Release Notes Summary:	The issue was caused by the new OS hierarchy loading mechanism. Before the new hierarchy mechanism RedHat 5 was considered El, but in the new OS hierarchy, it is considered Rhel. The fix introduces Rhel as a new OS that is a descendant of El.
