Glibc 2.41 incoming

Hi folks, Better late than never, glibc 2.41 should land in -proposed in during the weekend. While upstream has done its usual job, I usually "bake" the release much more than this, so there might be a bit more unforeseen breakage than usual this time around, my apologies. A high-level overview o

Hi Robie, Thanks for bringing this up. I'm all for moving to Matrix. The UX has some rough edges (notably around replies vs threads), but I agree with most of your points. I'm a bit more reserved about merging -devel and -release. I'm not really confident that the tooling you mention would be en
