I have grave concerns about this, and it makes me question the feasibility of VyOS as a modern, secure product going forward. As much as it pains me to say it, I understand that it may be too little too late for 1.2, but I strongly feel it should target Jessie or, at the very least, Wheezy. But, worse, I'm afraid that targeting Jessie for 2.0 is setting us up for being perpetually beyond LTS for all future versions to come.
Is there any way to rectify this?
