There's the non-deb world to monitor too. Fedora etc, plus Arch, SUSE
and so on. (BSD is dead anyway ;) )
Sure, I just don't understand the structure of those other distros well
(anymore). There are for sure a bunch of RPMs for gnuplot v5 floating
around already, Fedora, Suse etc. I don't know which of these are
unstable or stable distro releases, though.
