 21. If^H^HWhen the newbie's question is ambiguous, the proper
     interpretation will be whichever one makes the problem the hardest
     to solve.

Good to know the universe hasn't changed.

Now, levity aside, let's say you write a PowerShell script and run it
on your Microsoft Windows computer, and it queries the Debian repositories,
and it learns that bash version 5.2.15-2+b7 is the currently available
version for bookworm.

Is this version new?  Is it old?  Do you want to be informed of it?

How does your program determine whether to notify you or not?
