I don't *require* Debian 5 as such, but to improve portability I find
it useful to check that things still compile and work with older libcs
and other libraries. From that point of view, I find having a wider
variety of systems is more useful than having the same latest version
of the same OS on many machines.

gcc12 is also the machine that's been up the longest:

gcc12:~$ uptime
 13:26:12 up 2575 days,  4:49

which made seven years on the 3rd July. Happy birthday gcc12!

However, whatever, and many thanks for your work
