Do you have a reference to these known security issues so that people can determine how to balance updating vs risk?
(In reply to Hans de Graaff from comment #3) > Do you have a reference to these known security issues so that people can > determine how to balance updating vs risk? this is the one I meant, probably some others as well, 0.7.x will no longer receive any fixes. https://bugs.gentoo.org/686142 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/8997 This bug was opened to community/users can reach out and voice opinions. If people still need 0.7.x it can stay, but it's getting old and ugly at this point, so it's a gentle push to upgrade =) I can leave ebuilds masked in the tree for longer if you rely on them, but 0.8.4 is quite good, going to stabilize soon (~2 weeks). I recommend giving it a try in testing environment at least.
