I mean they could have just picked Debian 12... I doubt Debian will make retroactive slop updates to older versions of the distro. At least that's what I'm doing on the systems I administer: set up a custom package that conflicts with base-files >= 13 and with some already-known slopified version numbers (thanks to Open Slopware) to keep things a bit more under control.

Could have but

  1. I somehow doubt they did
  2. patches flow back into stable, too.

I had to freeze rsync because of that :(

Thanks to how Debian versions packages, numero 2 is solved with a package solution like mine (liberal use of >> for package version comparison), so that you can't install the updates that come with slopification.
