Hi,

if the installed software is still auditable for flaws depends on the
amount of software and if a security team is involved in doing it.

Two different versions of shared libraries are easier to audit, then 20
different versions with and without backported bug fixes.

I don't use Faltpak, Snap and similar, but several blobs in /opt and I
installed one appimage, but don't use it, since it didn't solve the
issue that was the reason to install it.

Regards,
Ralf
