I didn't say there's anything wrong, I meant that choosing the OS distribution with the oldest packages isn't an indication for how widespread the distribution of this package was.

I never said it didn't make it to production. I was asking if that's the case, and giving one data point.

It apparently didn't make it into Ubuntu LTS either, so there's another one.

If you have information that proves or disproves either point, please present it.
