It takes 3 years minimum, often 5, for non LTS Debian, to cycle through a library revision.

IMO, if you think distros are a thing of the past, or 3 years support of the biggest base distro is slowing things down, you're living in a bubble.

I know you prepended this with a statement saying you love LTS too, but to many, LTS is a decade or more.

And really, I have no interest running 'new shiny'. That is the absolute opposite of stable. That is where horrible, life altering mistakes live. If you want to increase your workload 100x, run bleeding edge.

And bleeding edge is anything that has any code change, outside of bug fixes and security fixes.

I know my position is not popular, but that doesn't make it wrong.
