yeah, bitrot is my big fear too. i really don't want to have to
actually get a mac. (even if i'm not paying for it, this current
macbook pro genuinely is the most awful laptop i've ever used.)

but i suspect i could always just update the mac toybox prebuilt "on
demand", which i assume would work out to "once every couple of years
or so". obviously i'll admit that to the build folks up front though
:-)
