I'm tired of discussing any alleged improvements that actually only raise problems. You need manpower to fix them, but you don't actually have it. Then just leave out the "new" for now until it works.
Then just go back to linux-2.2.16.tar.gz or windows 95.
Features? Security fixes? Who needs them anyway.
Totally unqualified remarks. But I think you noticed that yourself the second time.
Sorry, Eric. But Stefan's answer is not just unqualified. It's an ironic statement to point out that your statement could be understood as overly broad and basically says: Never change a running system, no matter which improvements to security could be achieved. (I'm not in your head, so I do not claim to know what you really meant.) Personally I appreciate if security defaults are tightened. And yes, sometimes there will be a fall-out one has to deal with. The art is to keep this fall-out fairly small and detect fails ASAP. But there's won't be any progress without taking some risks. Ciao, Michael.
