We've been very conservative about upgrading our operating system on
twistedmatrix.com <http://twistedmatrix.com/>, since we don't want to disrupt
anything. Since our OS is one release too old to support Docker, that
unfortunately means we haven't been able to migrate incrementally to
containers, which creates a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem.
However, as we are days away from the end-of-life cliff for the operating
system as a whole, and as I discovered a few minutes ago, dozens of packages
are already unsupported and not receiving security updates, I'm going to
upgrade the host OS manually, even if it results in some disruption. As with
the Twisted compatibility policy, security is a good enough reason to break
stuff.
Maybe we'll even get a new version of Mailman that will let me turn automatic
subscriptions back on while the star-crossed https://lists.twistedmatrix.com
<https://lists.twistedmatrix.com/> project waits for someone else to help out
:-).
