so you recommend in other words using F4 after EOL in december this year
eith all impact: no security updates, no new hardware support?

you call it waste of energy

i call it HARDLY NEEDED because the folk who decided invasive changes
in users workflows in other cases would think all is super and the
next time the same happens again

and that is exactly teh problem
we DO NOT NEED a apple-clone

there is nothing which i hate more than the missing usability of
the apple-gui for power-users - as example: finder is the most

*lol*

you have swicthed one single webserver with standard packages and think
you understand the world? so try to switch a infrastrcuture with > 20
servers intracting 100% automated one with each oter, self written
deployments and a bun ch of service-dependencies

you can not and you think only you can because it seems you have never seen a
professional environment where people really work with their computers (servers
and desktops) the whole day and often also night
