glibc 2.27?

Hello! I've lurked for about a year, excited (and scared) to finally post! Huge laud to the community's engagement.

Anyways.. My questions: why hasn't Arch rolled out glibc 2.27 in the official repository? Is it unadvisable to upgrade it myself?

Thank you!

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: glibc 2.27?

@slithery I saw that (it is a sticky after all)! Was wondering where this was on the range of "Because it crashes startup" to "Because a few utilities still depend on the previous version" -- seems to be somewhere inbetween

@ scorpick thank you!
