Sure it's not an Extended Update Support (EUS) release. On the other 
hand 8.6 and 8.8 are.

I believe that Scale is only supported on RHEL releases that are 
supported by Redhat. So right now in the 8.x version that is 8.6 with 
EUS and 8.8 which in due course will also be an EUS release.

Given that Scale tends to be supported on new RHEL point releases in the 
Scale release or PTF following the RHEL release then as far as I can see 
the only way to be fully supported at all times is to stick to EUS releases.

I would note that the elephant in the room is unless you have budget for 
genuine RHEL rather than a rebuild you need a plan to move to an 
alternative distribution.
