But 19 years is so far beyond the support period of upstream projects, what happens when a bug is quantum-fuzzed out of 15yo software? Nobody from the project will care, and nobody's backporting modern fixes to software that old.
It's not enough to just apply patches as upstream releases them.
Is SUSE really going to take on full maintainership for all the software it redistributes?
