Programmers' decision that led thousands of users to ask themselves what was
wrong with their apt update was a very bad marketing for Debian.
The alternative is that those users continue using Debian without
realising that their packages stopped being supported by the
maintainers and security team and are now supported by LTS alone.
Is that a better outcome?
