This future has been available to one and all for just over six years.

I believe it's even installed as standard on current RHEL if sysadmins
are allergic to the idea of building something even more current from
source.

vendor supplied 5.8.5 to vanilla 5.14.mumble built from source.
They never did blog this though :-(
