the main pkgs I need are qemu, kernel and libvirt. my router is inside a vm.
in stable, kernel is 5.10, although 5.15 is latest stable, I can live with 5.10
however, qemu is 5.2 and libvirt is 7.0.0, these are major downgrades for me, I cannot use them.

I was using debian stable before, I've ended up removing it because I had a bug and the fix was in newer incompatible versions.
also the one time I've upgraded the system, it broke my vms.

Thanks,

Dagg
