Neither do I.
On principle, I agree that we should drop versions. But glibc is part of
the toolchain, and the toolchain has always been special.
True, we do not have a version for uClibc-ng, but we do have some
traction on the maintainer! ;-) So we know things are gonna be fixed
soonish, or that we can grab a temporary backport, both very easily.
Not so much for glibc in my experience...
musl is another kind of thing, because it is (was?) moving relatively
fast, and I am under the impression that the maintainers are somewhat
amenable to some fixes.
Not so much for glibc in my experience...
So, I won't oppose the patch, not will I push for it...
Yep, that is a very clear-cut position... ;-]
