Hi, After some digging, I think we should position it to grave. I was unable to find a scenario with ddcutil working in linux 5.10 but my test setups are limited. The version number jumps may feel significant, but the changes ( http://www.ddcutil.com/release_notes/ + http://www.ddcutil.com/prior_announcements/) appear to be limited (yet critical!) and "inside" the binary (heuristics) - but I'm not suited to properly judge that. There are no reverse dependencies, so that really limits the risk of updating I think.
