I currently have to stick with a much older version because my #systemd free #Devuan is not providing never versions of PHP than 7.0 ... I'm still patient about.

And it is a shame that many programming languages are not so well backwards-compatible like #Java was. Yes, was. Until #Oracle stepped in and messed it up. I cannot launch #Payara application server under latest Java 13 version while the specification says it should. Java saves the binary version number inside the compiled .class file so the JVM will automatically switch to the older standard. It is a shame, what Oracle did here. So I still with Payara 4.1 and #OpenJDK 8 for a little longer.

Yes, off-topic. But still relevant due to incompatible upgrades.
