Thanks Guilhem for your answer :) Didn't know you brought the answers on
the lists as well. Was only checking the Discourse :P

Like explained in the infra meeting of today, the urgency is expressed
from a dev POV. AskBot to take an analogy is like the Apache OpenOffice
of the forums: using outdated Python libs with /potential/ security
issues. Of course, I know TDF (and you) are irreproachable wrt. OS and
infra updates. Was speaking about upstream app here ;)

Thanks a lot for that! Like explaining in the meeting, I'll reach out to
Mauricio and Daniel since the answer API node is now present \o/ Youhou*
