Looking at 1.1.1.6.a/b in particular: these tests are filtered to only rhel7 platforms. This was added in a massive "Improved configuration for version 1.1.0": a2c4b70

I have two questions after reviewing this:

• Why is this in particular gated to only rhel7, when CIS 1.1.1.6 applies in general (just under different names, e.g. 1.1.1.7 in Debian 12)? Does this use the RHEL subset of requirements specifically?
• Can the empty case be resolved to not cause warnings? I'm happy to contribute the labor with direction on how this should be resolved.
