Does the need for that even exist today? It seems like everything has drifted to web and continuous deployment, the very concept of desktop applications and releases has disappeared.
- pabs3 5y agoThis is definitely not the case. At minimum there are web browser releases and OS related releases (distro releases, Linux kernel releases, glibc releases, bash releases etc). Then there are releases of each of the dependencies for web apps. There are releases for various desktops like GNOME/KDE and also apps like Krita/Inkscape/Blender.

- pabs3 5y agoOnly the original Unix shell is that old and isn't in use today. All the shells in use today are newer than that. They all definitely have bug fixes that people today care about though.
