   Where is the kernel's "slop event horizon"? Should I stay with 7.0? 7.2?

   I'm aware the LLMbros are trying to boil the frog just like the rusticles were, but with rust I can just not have rustc in the $PATH and it either builds or it doesn't.

   "This project is no longer meaningfully maintained by humans" is harder to regression test for...

   Yeah yeah, put the effort into netbsd migration instead, I know...

     @landley I'd stick with oldest LTS that supports your needs. The flood of changes and fake CVEs to bamboozle you while they add new vulns constantly is not viable to use anywhere that matters. At least old LTS gets only the changes that fix real vulns, not new features before the new vulns in them are spotted.
