That's a valid observation. All of the old stuff has been battle tested and reviewed many times. Newer stuff is bound to have bugs that still have not been found. And even old stuff turns up surprises every now and then. For instance

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-27363

4300 affected kernel versions has to be a record of sorts.

I found a buffer overflow in the OpenSolaris code a few hours ago that originated in a commit made in 2007. It predates that Linux bug by at least a year.

It is amazing how many old bugs have survived to the present day. :/

That's because there is no OpenSolaris anymore....
