Most of the legacy updates I've seen are developed with good intentions.
There's a possibility of a supply-chain intrusion where the repositories
are compromised, but the risk of that seems pretty low.

Low, that is, unless you have a specific high-value target we discover
is running Windows95 or OS/2 on a cash-facing system...

Windows95 Ransomware? I think most Windows95 installs now are
throwaways or secondary (at best) systems.

Windows95 botnet? The slowest DDOS in town!
