Anecdotally, my experience has been okay... but not great -- you can end up with something Frankenstein would create The versions often feel arbitrary and don't line up. For example... I've been watching this for years: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firewalld/+bug/1835188 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firewalld/+bug/183... This is more on the edge case side of things, too. Not really security patch related -- but a consequence of picking/choosing component levels With this the firewall can randomly just stop being effective When things aren't exactly upstream, the knives you're juggling get a little bigger and more unbalanced.
