The horror is not how long booting takes, but rather if it’ll work

I've been patching and bouncing hundreds of machines automatically. The first decade, I was concerned and then merely observant. It's been so reliable that I just stopped being concerned for the second decade. The last 5 years have been very occasionally (1%) unreliable, thanks to Lennart's cancer, but not enough that I need to give it more than a glance. EL10 is a bit of a shitshow, so maybe the slow trend since el7 is continuing.
