i spent way too much time trying to figure out how you can have .144 of an update
that's the hotpatch which fixes the floating point number issue
Naturally when you only update .144 of the source code
I like that that implies that the entire source code for the operating system and all its packages are being ship of Theseus'd twice in addition to that
I believe that's what they call fractional updates.
