This is the entire point of a stable distro. To pick some software, stabilize it a specific api, and keep it supported. Upstream need-not support that specific version of a release, for reference, see the kernel.

- linuxftw 7y agoHuh? I'm just saying it's not unreasonable to support software downstream that upstream doesn't. That's the entire point. I don't care what Debian does at this point, too old for practical use. > should support software they aren't interested in. You mean like pestering all the other package maintainers to support python3 when they're not interested in doing that? That goes both ways. Nobody wanted python3, expect PSF. This is the continued backlash.
