Thanks for the links Frank.

I also have some deep, dark recollection of a news item about this
topic which likely I didn't pay a lot of attention to. I'll probably
update a machine today and make sure there's no obvious problems here
before I do my important machines.

And I do understand that you weren't saying there was a problem - only
that you were having to rebuild a lot of stuff so you were looking for
background on why.
