That is why it would be more accurate for the report to say `pkgsrc-2025Q1', not `NetBSD 10.1'.I strongly dispute this. It should instead list both, as both are affected.
Would "systems using pkgsrc-2025Q1, notably including NetBSD 9.x and NetBSD 10.1" have been a fair way of describing that set?
(Again, b is the same distinction as "Gentoo, but also portage-20250508, are both affected".)
Am I mistaken that portage is unique to Gentoo, while pkgsrc is also used for applications on systems other than its native NetBSD?
