> "trixie" includes numerous updated software packages (over 63% of all packages from the previous release)

Wow, I'm amazed a third of packages haven't seen an update in, ehm checks

> After 2 years, 1 month, and 30 days of development, the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version

I'm a fan of old software myself, in the sense that I find it cool to see F-Droid having a (usually tiny) package that is over 10 years old but it does exactly what I want with no bugs and it works perfectly on Android 10. I wonder if those 30% more commonly fall in the "it's fine as it is" category or in the "no maintainers available" category
