@simonasr do you want to take point on removing some of the older configuration options for redis?

Looks like we really only want to be supporting 6+ at a minimum

Hi @damacus

Sure, I'd be happy to help with that in my free time. Just to be clear, are we talking about removing obsolete conditional statements from the configuration templates and related code if such, or is there more to it? As far as I know, Redis hasn't actually removed any configuration options, so I just want to understand the scope of what we're doing.

Yeah, pretty much want to make sure 6 and 7 work. It's easier if it's headed up by someone who still uses it
