Gotta say I'm really confused about their branches and version numbers these days. New features in a point release seems to be normal for them now.

You're describing something a little like NixOps, which is something like a cross between nix and terraform.

Yyyyeah, but you do end up duplicating potentially quite a lot of code, especially if you're following the (IMHO nice) "fat models" approach. I think a few people have thrown around the idea of creating a frontend to sqlalc

It'll only rebuild the packages that depended on that particular openssl. This is an area where Nix shines, because all packages are explicitly bound to their dependencies, it means it's no longer relevant what one file happen

Agreed, I think straight deletion is pretty irresponsible, but it was possible to see this kind of thing on the horizon since the sale to Atlassian. It's good to know how seriously they take the custodianship of potentially extremely i

When necessary, my trick has been to export inkscape graphics to Scribus when print colour support is needed. Scribus has extremely good spot/CMYK colour support, but a rather weird UI (I'm told it's modelled on QuarkXPress).

I think it's still very valuable to raise awareness of the existence of a lot of these more basic features in postgres core. Though I think it would be better titled "You might not need PostGIS".
