I know you're very sensitive about always using the newest code of
everything. I don't say this is bad but it doesn't mean that all older
code is always inferior. If there are no missing features, security
bugs or performance issues, I don't see a need to upgrade just for the
sake of it.

But since I'm mainly concerned about the SDE, I can offer you to use
the newest version of nixpkgs for freerouter. This means that we will
be using a separate package collection for the SDE. The only drawback
is that it will use more space in the Nix store for all the
non-overlapping components.

I will not consider doing this (i.e. blindly upgrading everything) for
the SDE. This *will* lead to failures and hard-to-track regressions.
