I think we're confusing two different concepts here... Latest stable release (with most recent security patches) vs following bleeding edge. Former is almost always what you want in production. There might be only one exception: known new bug in the patch. If such a thing is common, I guess that's really a problem with the process, not with the packaging infrastructure... Bleeding edge has its place too. Even reasonable people do it in non-critical environments, to check out changes before they're surprised in the next release, or give feedback to the OS developers / packaging team. > That's the large problem with the current devops/container culture. If you're unhappy with this culture, do something to affect it in a positive way. Devs at my $WORK know not to curl | sudo bash, because we've had several chit-chats about what's OK and what's not, and why. K.
