  Yes, we also use some old bottles (60.9.0 and 68.5.0) and have spare
ones, in case the in-use one(s) break.

  Which is probably a good thing, because there used to be a FTP site
with all the old bottles which were ever made, but that FTP site is gone
and - with a quick look - I can't see a replacement.

  But, after a bit of Googling:

  My Galaxy A51 just says "Your software is up to date.". As it's a
lower end model, there's no fancy check mark in a green circle. I guess
that was extra! :-)
