Will we see it? Again, I have no idea. It would take a lot of time to catch it happening, then restore the previous state so as to be able to actually have a chance to find what happened to cause it and subsequently be able to repeat at will. All I can say is I have a bunch of Stretch installations, and there were several occasions where, in order to see if differences were possible, after an 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' I immediately followed up with 'apt update; apt upgrade' and more packages were replaced/installed/purged. Possibly along the way to final Stretch release whatever caused or allowed those differences became possible no longer? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
