that's ok but not near good enough. I know lotsa people dislike linux but
fact is 2-3 year uptimes are normal and boring nowadays, also true for BSD
(in fact BSD usually still does a bit better, 2-3 year uptime was boring 8
years ago).

Fossil is quite neat but needs the hardening steps. I'm well aware that
nobody has the time but we ought to be aware of what is possible.
