I had a circumstance where I also had to downgrade glibc. It was a
giant pain in the ass.
The advice you gave me in July for the same question (from me that time):
> 1. Backup all user data, configs and critical files
> 2. Download a recent stage that suits your needs
> 3. Rebuild world plus add all the extra packages you use
I followed your advice and it worked very well. From my experience,
you're only going to do the same thing if you actually try to
downgrade, and it's going to be much harder and take much longer.
What better advice to follow than your own!!
