The insidious urge to fix what ain’t broke has arisen. I’ll probably follow the official documentation, unless someone has a better suggestion.
I’m not running anything unusual and I haven’t done much, if any, “customization”. I update packages maybe a couple of times a week, so they’re current.
Should I go ahead and put myself through this now, or wait until support is dropped and I’m forced?


I upgraded 50 boxes from 9 to 13 last week.
The two dovecot were the most work. Some guacd had trouble with file permissions and I had to manually install and enable a few php8.4 packages and manually apply powerdns db migration scripts.
Oh, powerdns renamed master/slave to primary/secondary, too.
