A lot and i mean a lot of industrial controllers are running on 486s. Intel was producing 486s up until 2007. And a lot of companies wont get rid of controllers if they continue to work.
And who the fuck cares if their industrial controller is getting the latest update of Arch Linux? If you have such an important industrial controller that you haven’t replaced it in decades, you’re not running the latest kernel anyway.
