It was helpful having RHEL7 coverage. RedHat has just announced they are offering 3 year extended support for this release because the installed base continues to remain on this release.

Thanks for your comment. The RHEL 7 content in RHEL 7 isn't going anywhere. It will be there for the reminder of the EUS period. Please use the content from the scap-security-guide package to use the content created by this project. However due to agencies like CIS stopping updates at the end of the maintenance on 30 June 2024, Red Hat stopped updating the compliance content for RHEL 7 on 30 June 2024, see this blog post from the Red Hat blog for more details. Also the RHEL 7 product is already gone from this project see #12093.

Understood. Having this page was really handy https://complianceascode.github.io/content-pages/tables/table-rhel7-cces.html for quick lookups.

I have verified that these rules aren't used anywhere.
