I don't think I need to 'prove' that computer programs do repeatable
things. I just want to know the version numbers that need to be
installed - something relatively easy to check.

Yeah, but you probably would have said that before the 2012 instance
too... And what I really want to know is how 'out-of-date' a system
can be.

Now we know the issues, and hopefully someone had done the simulation
tests. I just want to know the specific kernel and package versions
that have the fixes. But none of the links I've found discussing the
issues boil it down to something a non-geek would want to see.
