There was a problem hiding this comment.
I suggest renaming roles/analysis/tasks/analysis-preupg.yml and roles/upgrade/tasks/redhat-upgrade-tool-upgrade.yml to finish with _el6.yml so that its clear that they are run on EL6 only. This PR seems like a good place to do it. Other than that, looks good to me.

Updated the recommendations for RHEL 7 as well. Thanks @bocekm for help! |

In the readme, would not the same warning apply to analysis as upgrade? It's not leapp for 6 to 7 either. |

I've updated the readme a bit to make it more clear the RHEL 6 analysis uses the Preupgrade Assistant instead of leapp. I'm not sure, if that is what you meant though. |
Jira: RHELMISC-22117
Some of the tasks files in analysis and upgrade roles are exclusive to upgrades of RHEL 6. These files use different tools than the rest of the collection to perform pre-upgrade analysis (preupg) and the upgrade itself (redhat-upgrade-tool). This patch adds suffix to the names of these files to distinguish them event further.

Although this collection allows for upgrades of RHEL 6, the upgrades are not fully supported by Red Hat. For more information refer to the RHEL In-place upgrade Support Policy.
The warning is currently added to the
upgradeandanalysisroles. It is in theanalysis-preupg.ymlandredhat-upgrade-tool-upgrade.ymlto leverage the version check happening before these files are included. I wanted to make the warning part of themain.ymlfiles while making it more generic for easier inclusion of additional versions later, however, the title of the task would be shown when the warn task is skipped, which is not desired.Jira: RHELMISC-22117
