If a year old is considered antiquated, we have some major problems in this world.
And it's kinda my whole point: code that can only be consumed wholesale as shipped might technically be open source, but if backporting fixes to a year old version is nigh on impossible, is it truly open source in practice?
- encryptluks2 4y agoYes it is. That is like saying because it doesn't run on an Atari that it isn't truly open source.
- gspr 4y agoNo it's not. The Atari isn't one year old. Come on man, from your logic you might as well say that a one year old car should be fed hay since it's practically a horse.
- encryptluks2 4y agoDebian stable is using components often several years old, not just a year.
- spacemanmatt 4y agoSome parts of the system evolve faster than others. I am glad for Debian's relatively conservative policy for all my servers, but I want an evergreen browser on my desktop.
