9 But there are different situations, and there are two questions in the quiz to
10 reflect that (IIRC the other one is one or two questions before this #19).
11 And, I believe, these were added after the issue was brought up by arch
12 testers here quite some time ago. Rhat is, there is a difference between a
13 trivial bump and a major update. E.g., you don't expect trouble from some
14 minor bug fix but things may not work anymore or require major adjustments
15 when some big backend changes are made or build system is changed (like
16 recently it became popular to replace autotools with CMake).
