Just a question,out of curiousity: glibc is blocked from an upgrade (and with it the kernel headers) because, let's say so in a not scientific way, slackware is *NOT* a rolling release but one with versions (pretty much like eg. *ubuntu, classical debian etc. Differently from arch or debian sid)? In the last couple of years i mostly used rolling releases (as siduction) or i made them such as with crunchbang waldorf.

What is the question? Of course slackware is not a rolling release! Glibc is blacklisted because upgrading it thoughtlessly might break your system completely.

I meant the same as you said - and i wanted only add, that coming from a rolling release sometimes there is something you need to readapt to
