   Hey Benny!   
      
    MK>> I am still using 2.33 as we speak.   
      
    BP> same here, what does 2.34 do that cant wait ?   
      
   Totally break the new firefox-91 builds.  seamonkey-2.53.9 works though so it   
   isn't a total loss unless of course you *NEED* firefox, especially the esr   
   source.  Also firefox-91 claims that you won't be able to compile it on older   
   systems.  So far my experience seems to indicate the exact opposite.  It is   
   early though.  Anyhow some people need firefox to properly stream from amazon   
   and the such since seamonkey cannot - and more than likely every other gui   
   browser except the google one (chrome or chromium or ?????).

   I am in the process of upgrading three machines but am sticking with   
   glibc-2.33 for more or less the same reasons as you.  Two of them don't have   
   gui's and seldom have a monitor and/or keyboard attached.  The one I am   
   replying to your msg, where Little Mikey's Brain resides, is a prime case.

   Works like a charm and will be easy to upgrade to glibc-2.34 if that day ever   
   comes.  Heck I might skip over it to glibc-2.35 ... in Febuary-ish that is.
