There's an incidental benefit here. There's at least one system (I think Duo + Okta?) which, when configured to check if your browser is out of date, makes a logic error. It should check if your browser is the most recent, and, if it isn't, if the _new release_ is over N days old. Instead, it checks if your browser is the most recent, and if it isn't, if the _old release_ is over N days old. So, if you run Firefox and you get it from your Linux distribution, that breaks during the two days or so in between a new release and e.g. Fedora shipping it.
- gruez 7y agoMust be fun for ESR users, because ESR reports the base version regardless of when it was patched. So ESR 60.9 (released alongside 69, still supported), would look a year out of date.

- ShakataGaNai 7y agoIt's Duo that has the "Software Update Notification" feature ( https://guide.duo.com/software-update https://guide.duo.com/software-update ). If more vendors go the direction of faster updates, that feature on Duo (and I'm sure others) will need to be tweaked heavily.
- lvh 7y agoI mean, it’s pretty broken right now, so maybe not?
