I occasionally have to download and run old versions in a VM to build poorly supported software.

E.g. step 1 of the build instructions here

Install the following packages in an ubuntu - 14.04.6 LTS machine

nightwatch_admin,

Systemd haters? But seriously, this could well be because of business environments where applications require specific OS versions to keep being supported by the vendor. Or better: where the orchestration tool cannot be updated because of the old OSs while said OSs cannot be updated because it will break orchestration.

This is why people love containers: you can run insecure software on insecure OS (component)s while pretending to be in control on your shiny Kubernetes cluster.

SinningStromgald,

Data hoarders? People rolling back to older versions? Those are my best guesses.
