As someone fighting the C++ toolchain daily, there is a painful irony in seeing APT—the tool supposed to solve dependency hell—creating its own dependency crisis. I sympathize with the maintainers of retro hardware. But honestly? Holding back the security and maintainability of a modern OS base layer just so an AlphaStation from 1998 can boot feels backwards. The transition pain is real, and Canonical handled the communication poorly. But the 'legacy C tax' is eternal. We have to move critical infrastructure off it eventually. |
