Unless I’m missing something, here we will disagree. Secure or not, FOSS principle-respecting or not, if I’m choosing to install software by X then I’m going to get it straight from X and not involve third-party Y too.

Source code is like a recipe. Getting your food from the chef who made the recipe is fine, but getting it from another chef who… followed the same exact recipe is no different.

This is how the linux software distribution model works, distro maintainers are a CHECK on upstream.

There will be no improvement with browsers until the introduction of one with a strong copyleft license.

I mean you’d still expect that critical security fixes would land in testing, no?

they get there, just after uh, 5 days usually. things change during the soft freeze as the migration time gets even longer

testing is not really meant to be used in that way, you can think of testing of “what would the next debian stable look like if it was released today?” as the versions in debian stable are meant to be frozen, those that are in testing are meant to be tested at that version.
