They already know; read the forum thread 
http://www.scalix.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9394&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=centos&start=15

In particular, on page 2 of that thread, the Scalix guy Florian says 
this: "We've started community/evaluation support for CentOS4/5 for 11.3, so 
that those Fedora users don't have to complain about having to upgrade their 
operating system with every Scalix upgrade. We'll fully support this for 
commercial use in the next version. "

In other words, as of Scalix 11.4, the next version, CentOS 4 and 5 will be 
fully supported in production, and 11.3 is supported for eval/community now 
(no more tweak needed to get it to install).

For 'supported' in this context, this means that Scalix will provide real 
commercial support if you use CentOS 4 or 5; you have, with a little tweak, 
been able to use Scalix on CentOS 4 and 5 for a long time; I've been using 
Scalix on CentOS 4 for quite a while now.  It's just not 'officially 
supported' for production by scalix.
