As a Debian user, it doesn't affect me. Supposedly back ported sources are also available just no longer tagged for RHEL, and if that's true my sadness is somewhat limited for my fellow distros, even if they are so heavily corporate in origin. My world & the Linux world keeps getting incredibly better every year, in my view.
This 254 release is amazing, just so much stuff. Utterly unreadably long but posted some favs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36516792
Chin up, man! Or best of luck over in openbsd land.
