		Yes but it can't actually upgrade and release packages for discontinued distro release streams, that's a human problem.

		Backporting the fix is much lower effort in total. It's just a few dozen minor PHP releases that are affected, but millions of websites still running on older PHP versions.

		The slop machine can then also port your stuff to Go and you don't worry about this stuff as much anymore.
