I had a circumstance where I also had to downgrade glibc. It was a |
| 10 |
giant pain in the ass. |

The advice you gave me in July for the same question (from me that time): |

> 1. Backup all user data, configs and critical files |

> 2. Download a recent stage that suits your needs |
| 16 |
> 3. Rebuild world plus add all the extra packages you use |

I followed your advice and it worked very well. From my experience, |
| 19 |
you're only going to do the same thing if you actually try to |
| 20 |
downgrade, and it's going to be much harder and take much longer. |

What better advice to follow than your own!! |
