Will Red Hat support Apache httpd in RHEL beyond the upstream EOL?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

As https://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/Announcement2.2.html says the following, upstream will stop providing maintenance for Apache httpd 2.2 on December 2017:

Please note that Apache Web Server Project will only provide maintenance releases of the 2.2.x flavor through June of 2017, and will provide some security patches beyond this date through at least December of 2017. Minimal maintenance patches of 2.2.x are expected throughout this period, and users are strongly encouraged to promptly complete their transitions to the the 2.4.x flavor of httpd to benefit from a much larger assortment of minor security and bug fixes as well as new features.

Will Red Hat support Apache httpd 2.2 rpm package in RHEL beyond this EOL?
