They did so well, that I didn't even notice anything changed - no
complaints from my "automated" update facility. I only learned about
this change from "diff {RedHat} 8 7" document.
This reminds me what I used to say about my sysadmin job: My job is like
that of a plumber: if I do it right, no one will notice that I exist; if
I do it wrong, everybody gets ... you know what.
Well done, RedHat!
