sounds helpful - hopefully other users of 12 year old curl will read that and know what circumstances to avoid

nice! but you don't patch the old version?

has anything drifted enough that it's difficult to compile old curl versions like that on modern systems? From experience, C compilers keep getting stricter, so old code *does* bitrot against newer compilers.

So has the person who submitted the bug report tried it against the most recent version of curl? Maybe something from only 10 years ago?

do you actually do something with it? like, does someone take the time to see how it's crashing and send a patch to them / release a new minor version? or is there some list of versions that are "maintained" and all others will get a wontfix slapped on the report? does curl have some sort of paid support for that kind of customers?

@lina we offer paid support, then we can do all of that. For the free tier, we do not patch old versions, we just ship new ones based on master. We just advise them to upgrade.
