Comment on Please weigh in: Transfer of Docker stacks to Debian

Debian has a policy of only cherry picking security updates, or critical bugfixes, in order to ensure maximum system stability. In general, they don’t do entire program updates or additional features. For the 4 year lifecycle of a Debian release, it will behave the same as it did yesterday.
As of today, current version of rsync in Debian’s stable’s packages is 3.4.1: packages.debian.org/stable/rsync (archive).
The versions with significant LLM assistance are 3.4.3 and later.

Their comments on the bug tracker issue regarding staying on non-AI versions are however rather worrying, and they’ve ignored the issue completely, burying their heads in the sand.
