That's not good. But you'll no doubt hear when there's trouble.

Yes. The context of the question was if I had to compile NTP from source, for whatever reason. Taming another toolchain is not something I would look forward to. > And again, if there was a problem I believe I would have heard about it. Oh yes. The bullseye is invisible, but always there.
