To add a possible data point to the convo,
at least one distro, OpenSUSE, is already toying with apparently poorly
thought-thru patches (aka, not vetted/source here, from upstream) --
e,g, here,
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/postfix/postfix-linux45.patch?expand=1
-- to 'old release' postfix 3.3.3 for Linux5 support.
no particular skin off _my_ nose -- i contentedly build/deploy only from
Postfix upstream source.
i understand it's 'their' decision, good or bad. nonetheless, it will
inevitably generate noise here.
