Hobble, I might move back to Arch due to that reeeeee. Even Fedora Rawhide and Debian sid are stuck with 5.x, plus the official dev stopped packing it in a non-Flatpak format.
Also, I can't use an external console due to improper sandbox in their flatpak (they aren't using dbus neither shipping with xterm or GNOME Terminal), kinda annoying considering than Flatpak was supposed to fix that.
Although someone flagged the package as out-of-date on 2017-02-21 in Arch's official repos, but at least it is 6.10. I also can pull the 7.x series from AUR which is good enough for me.
