We might consider to set some expectation for oldstable-security, though e.g state that
oldstable-security updates stop three months after the release of stable or so.
Yeah, I like that idea. I think I could comfortably handle about 6 months of dual security support (stable+oldstable), personally.
Chromium is very fast-paced in toolchain changes (e.g. in the past new C++ features
become incompatible with GCC and we might see something similar with LLVM (which
is used these days) as well.
New LLVM versions are already added annually to *stable for Firefox,
even in LTS (which got LLVM 13 last autumn in addition to 6, 7 and 11).
The LLVM updates have been very helpful for chromium bullseye support.
