On June 30, CentOS 7 is EOL and RHEL 7 reaches end-of-maintenance [1]. We haven't changed anything on our rhel-7.9 branch in years, we can put these images to rest.
This also means that we can stop supporting the old "implicit superuser" backwards compatibility, as all supported OSes now use the explicit dialog. Drop the various TestSuperuserOld* tests.
Also drop TestCentos7 -- we already have a TestRHEL8 for testing connectivity to the C bridge.
Drop the
wait_popdown()
testlib API. It's not being used anywhere any more, so vulture complains. External projects don't use it either, and it's too trivial to keep around.[1] https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux/rhel-7-end-of-maintenance
