If you mean that complex systems bring more complex issues, then I can
only agree.

What we could do in 2005 is just orders of magnitude less than what we
can do now with a Linux Distro. Yes it has some drawbacks. That being
said, most of the things can be avoided with proper doc reading.

Not really, no. We are the guys packaging software. This software
changes and therefore we have to cope with these changes.

I don't know what your point is.

Same. Yes, people meet issues due to software changes, it's the course
of life.

Nothing here is a bug. Systemd chose to enable by default cgroups v2 in
Debian 11, and this had some consequences that were handled. These
consequences were properly advertised by the means we use to advertise
breaking changes.

I'm blaming you for trying to blame others for an unproperly done dist
upgrade. This is your responsibility to read changelogs, read the
documentation, and do a proper upgrade testing that anything works fine
afterwards. This is not ours.
