@gnutelephony I feel this one from both sides. On the one hand, I love the stability of #Debian; it's so stable that unattended-upgrades is possible and trusted. OTOH, as a FLOSS developer, maintaining old branches of things has no enjoyment for me and is not something I would do on something even close to the scale of the #Linux#kernel voluntarily.
The real problem here is, I think, that there is nobody willing to pay for staffing for #LTS.
@nuncio@gnutelephony I see #Rust in the #kernel as a huge positive. It eliminates a ton of classes of bugs, compiles to code that's just as efficient if not more so, etc. And it reduces developer toil. More secure systems, faster development, what's the problem?
