Oh, a new pgfplots version! https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgfplots/releases/tag/1.18.2 How exciting!
What could be a way to draw large family trees with LaTeX? Would `genealogytree` be a good choice?
You could check the texlive historic mirror, e.g. https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2021/tlnet-final/archive/ or any other year

In other news, I found my spiritual predecessor: > ### Why is it important to benchmark my shell? Is it for enthusiasts? > It's not important to benchmark your shell. It is important for me to benchmark zsh plugins and configs that I publish so that users of my code have fast shell. Shell users—or anyone for that matter—prefer fast software over slow whether they are enthusiasts or not. Taken from [here](https://github.com/romkatv/zsh-bench#why-is-it-important-to-benchmark-my-shell-is-it-for-enthusiasts).

I may very well be wrong though.
