Hi,
> Tools work just fine on stretch as evidenced by my releasing 3.10, 3.10.1, and 3.11, so let’s remove this warning entirely?
I’d rather not: there’s historically been quite some bad feelings (mostly on anonym’s side) about difficulties to run these tools in various environments. IIRC that’s why this warning was added in the first place. The fact the tools currently work on Stretch don’t guarantee they will still work on Stretch in 2 months, nor on Buster in a year. So I’d rather keep something in place.
But I agree the current phrasing is too vague, does not reflect currently reality, and does not explain well why things might break on stable. I’ve tried to improve this with commit:87a05a1b1fac4a673abdea939db4dc2416f69db0. What do you think?
