All supported versions of CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and NetBSD have PCRE2 by now, and I'm quite fine with giving folks using systems without security updates a bit of a wake-up call. I have no reason to believe that any other major operating system won't have version 2, either. So, essentially, I think this is a good idea. --=20 brian m. carlson (he/him or they/them) Houston, Texas, US --vGXt1AHmaRRReSH5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.2.20 (GNU/Linux) iHUEABYKAB0WIQQILOaKnbxl+4PRw5F8DEliiIeigQUCYAznzwAKCRB8DEliiIei gRM8AP43moQvbDgfUDU3Jo9V1gu288W6Nx0udU3Xmu2vrK1GmwEAr3AQgZEeI8sl GgqYgZ3leu8Plx7ZH7YpYYvT0gp32AM= =JpOD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vGXt1AHmaRRReSH5--
