RHEL 6 is in support until 2024, though it's already halfway through the maintenance 2 phase. It's definitely going, but we really don't know how many folks might still be using it in production on systems they're updating and using pgAdmin on. That last bit is important; many folks will continue to run production servers on RHEL/CentOS 6 for years, but how many are using them for client-side stuff or actively updating things like pgAdmin on them?
RHEL 6 is the #1 OS for GPDB so if we have customers installing server side or wanting to we'd be on this pretty quickly.
As an aside, I'm interested in who and how people are using the Linux version. How many are using Linux on the desktop and how many are installing the server. My assumption is that people using the linux distro are installing the server but I have no actual information to base that on.
My experience is actually the opposite in a lot of cases. The server pgadmin is used primarily by those of my customers who are using Windows -- mainly as a workaround for the fact that the performance experience of the desktop app on Windows was horrible.
On Mac I don't think I've seen anybody choose the server version if it's a primary tool for them (some still have a shared pgadmin for people who only touch it at very infrequent cases, but it's not common). On Linux, I see a mix.
