In an ideal world, yes, we would all stop until we (thought) we
understood how a problem had arrived. But a modern linux desktop
system is a complex beast.
Currently (see the -book list) I'm looking at a problem (tests now
hang in a perl module) which might be related to a newer openssl, but
to me appears to be related to more-recent kernel (4.18) point
releases.
At the moment my interesting systems are unavailable (currently,
updating rustc and firefox as part of my firefox upgrade scripts :
62.0.3 should be fine with rustc-1.25.0 but I was not expecting
another 62 point release and was getting the scripts ready for
63-beta testing.
But when that finishes, I will be trying a developer version of that
module which appears to fix the problem (I want to check that things
work even where they used to with 8.3) and trying to confirm that a
recent stable 4.18 caused the problem seems like a waste of time
(4.18.3 seems ok, 4.18.8 included a CVE fix, 4.18.9 has problems).
But as with everything else in the LFS area - your system, your
choices.
