    That only tells me that you select low quality tools. There are very very few software tools that I use that I would want to upgrade. Some, due to their nature, will require security updates. Others will not.

    Spoken like a true naive idiot.

    Sometimes, you don't get to choose the Toolchain, or all the choices suck in various and wonderous ways...
