That's really not how frontier research works.
The packages they want are nightlies with lots of necessary fresh fixes that their team probably even contributed to, and waiting for Red Hat to include it in the next distro is completely out of the question.
- forrestthewoods 1y agoObjectively false. There is a wealth of options between latest_master -> nightly -> ..... -> RedHat update. And there's only a very small number of specific libraries that you'd even want to consider for nightly. Majority of repo should absolutely be pinned and infrequently updated. There have been so many vendor supply chain exploits on HN in 2025 that I'd consider it borderline malpractice to use packages less than a month old in almost all cases. Certainly by default.
