DESCRIPTION:<p>Right to repair is usually a hardware story\, but open-sou
 rce infrastructure faces its own version: the discipline of keeping soft
 ware <em>actually</em> working over decades. NetXMS started in 2003 and 
 still runs on AIX\, Solaris\, older RHEL\, Windows 7 kiosks\, and a long
  tail of 32-bit ARM\, FreeBSD\, OpenBSD\, and Alpine &mdash\; users who 
 didn't choose to be a long tail\, but chose stability. For them\, the co
 ntract is that the agent we shipped in February 2009 still talks to the 
 server we shipped last week\, and old config files still parse. This tal
 k walks through three war stories from the last year &mdash\; a 32-bit A
 RM crash from format-string mismatches\, a 14-year-old GTK bug in SWT fi
 xed upstream\, and a Mastodon thread that unlocked Solaris SPARC for our
  Jenkins agents &mdash\; and five concrete layers of backward compatibil
 ity we maintain in code. I'll close with what this approach costs\, what
  it gains\, and why software right to repair is inseparable from who we 
 expect to be there when other things break.</p>
