this isn’t even a “new” problem. if you were around in the early 00s or before you probably worked with a BOfH sys admin that didn’t let you update system packages. that person cared deeply about system integrity and enforced it with policies around package managers.

the mob freak out is really a projection of a skill issue and it’s sad.
