    industrial or IOT devices running deprecated Unix / Linux derivatives

    This is my concern, all the embedded devices happily running in underground systems like pipes and cables. I assume there are at least a few which nobody even considered patching because they’ve “just worked” for decades!

        They do at least get updates though, and they’re big enough that they don’t get forgotten!
