Agreed. We had a lot of discussions with RedHat and their reseller/partner companies about their decision to intentionally exclude OSFS2 support from newer versions. As a result, we migrated our RHEL5 systems that needed OCFS2 to OEL7 and found it to be a more pleasant experience as well as less expensive. In fact, we also converted all existing non-OCFS2-related RHEL7 installations over to OEL7. IIRC The process was super easy, once scripted it took maybe 5 minutes plus a reboot on each system.
