I was already wondering why so many things happened during the
(comparatively) short time I didn't watch. Looks like people have been
in lockdown with plenty of time to come around with new things.
Fortunately, the base installation I have to update doesn't contain
many applications (e.g., no X involved). Everything sits on an NFS
server with ZFS below it, so it is quite easy to do snaphots and go
back and forth between them, and we have plenty to CPU power to rebuild
things.
OTOH, the orchestration to have the setup re-done in a fully automated
way is still under development, so I definitely wanted to try updating
before really starting over.
