Jonathan, I hear you.  I rolled back to ngspice-26 for the 5.1.4
release, and I think it probably makes sense to roll back to
ngspice-26 for 5.1.5 as well.

I am not really comfortable with the state of this situation.  We're
running nightlies with 30, and release with 26, but how long until
there's a bug caused by rolling back for stable releases that we never
see since all the nightlies are on ngspice-30?

Do I simply need to make another set of builds with ngspice-30 and a
set with ngspice-26?  Is this fine? Maybe? Am I overthinking this?

Wayne, dev team, packagers, everyone--what do you think?  I don't have
any skin in the game here.

Adam
