If they do security updates for obsolete versions of software this means a huge amount of resources testing and developing patches against it that could be spent improving current software.
- mihaaly 4y agoImproving must mean here making even bigger and more complex pile of whatever, making it more vulnerable by complexity and new, barely tested or thought through new versions. We could live without that easily! They could divert resources from "improvements" easily then and consequently making the job of ensuring the quality of already sold vulnerable products to live up to the minimum standards! Testing much much less of existing and broadly distributed products by not making so many obsolete versions so rapidly, putting resources where it counts instead of flashy pile of superficial sh*t! Something truly and reliable useful at last!
