CentOS 6 doesn't depend on the work dchagin@ has been doing, that's
slowly making its way into 10.3-RELEASE.

In fact, we used to have emulators/linux_base-c6 as far back as Summer
2013 (that was CentOS 6.2, before I took it for a bunch of upgrades).

Dimitry, please correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I remember the
only thing that was required to run it was to set

sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18

so from that side on we should be fine. Yes, you won't be able to run
Skype on it, but then you need to upgrade to 10.3 anyway (thanks to
Microsoft).
