Which “incident”?

When version 3.3 was released and all the issues starting to show up because of DNSMASQ ?

Basically the date of this Blog entry : https://pi-hole.net/2018/02/14/pi-hole-v3-3-released-its-extra-special/

@DanSchaper

Not everyone can upgrade from Jessie to Stretch. Some are running other packages that are not Stretch compatible. If everyone just ran Pi-hole and only Pi-hole on the device then that would be different. We need to accommodate a wide range of installation scenarios.

I am runnig Jessie actually

Also have a Unify Controller running on it and everything works together just fine!

@DanSchaper

Debian freezes versions at the time of release. That’s just how Debian is. Raspbian could conceivably break with this and release a new dnsmasq, but that would involve regression testing and various other things that the limited staff can easily do. So they rely on Debian and only backport security patches, they don’t release new versions. Stability is paramount to Debian and by proxy Raspbian.

That's why you guys need to add FreeBSD support : No more silly Debian issues unless you switch to Ubuntu, which has it's own quirks and issues

Well my sd card died in less than 5 months of use.

Then consider using a different brand or a slightly larger one so it can spread the usage of it's cells
