folks that make very long-lifecycle industrial systems meant to run generally ancient software
Those things are not meant to run ancient software. They are meant to run a very long time. And yes at the end of this time the software is ancient. That does not mean it is ancient at the start of the system lifecycle (I’ve seen crazy people building such systems from a Fedora image, because they knew they would accumulate enough technical debt during the system lifecycle, without taking the centos debt from the start up)
