That only prevents them from adding newer versions of Redis. The current version is still fine and I'm sure that the community will patch any security holes that are discovered.

It works for a year or two, then enough of a delta builds up that people get confused at why the version is so old. New docs don’t apply, etc. Similar issue has played out with MongoDB and Docker.

Plus it’s basically unmaintained so the bugs will build up and the security burden is higher since upstream will stop making their security patches under the old license (which they especially state they will do in the FAQ).

Best either retired or migrated to a fork (for Debian)

And this will work out for what, 6 months?
