I would be seriously surprised of RH is going to backport for 5 years.  What I
would expect to see is backport for a time, do full QA on a more current
release and start the backport over again.

So 4 years from now, when you update package axYcme, you will be getting a new
version (likely backwards compatible with the original RHEL release).
