The "good" news is that the branch sources are outdated but consistent.
Packages build from the branch will have version numbers that are
recognized as vulnerable.

The bad is news is however that the new branch lacks several package
updates e.g. to "lang/perl5" that were in the old branch.

        Kind regards
