Yes. What I want to say here is that while the delay of the security
updates is often invisible to end users, the dependency break
becomes *obvious quickly* and so the latter (dependendy break) bears
much complaint than the formar (for end users) and I wanted to
notice this. The eyes of maintainers and end users are somewhat
different.
