I suppose he's asking about the official RHEL packages, which indeed
are only at 8.4.13. The right way to make something happen there would
be to pester his Red Hat support contact.

(Although really, since RHEL5 is now in production phase 2 which means
it only gets critical updates, nothing is very likely to happen until
a security bug comes along that RH's security team deem sufficiently
interesting. This morning's releases aren't likely to get that done,
since the high-dollar problem isn't in 8.4. If you want newer packages
it's probably time to move to RHEL6.)
