The discussion we had last year concluded that we were OK with
dropping 1.0.1 support when RHEL6 goes out of extended support
(June 2024 per this thread, I didn't check it). Seems like we
should have the same policy for RHEL7. Also, calling Photon 3
dead because it went EOL three days ago seems over-hasty.

Bottom line for me is that pulling 1.0.1 support now is OK,
but I think pulling 1.0.2 is premature.
