Slackware 15.0 is often called “outdated,” but the ChangeLog tells a different story.
Since release, 15.0 has received not only security fixes, but also new packages and updates that match or closely track
Slackware-current (glibc-zoneinfo, curl, kernel firmware, and Mozilla ESR/SeaMonkey).
It also maintains supported versions of PHP in its extra directory and updated Rust in testing to support modern software.
What diverges in -current is mostly graphics stacks, toolchains, and desktop layers.
Slackware 15.0 is not frozen -- it is maintained by design.
