You are still breaking thousands of systems. (3400 is more than three
thousands.)
What do you mean by breaking breaking because you use that term like a
sledge hammer for anything from a 'pixel off' bug to 'too old software
is in repos', 'too young software is in repos' , 'software is not in
repos' to 'can't boot'. After a while, I assumed the only way I can't
break a system is to never unbox it.. but I expect there is probably
some way that is also a broken system.
