I've been doing a lot of backward (and forward) compatibility testing.
Mostly of BIND 9 on Debian,
also did a fair bit of Crossgrading testing too.
And mostly to update some Debian wiki pages, notably:
https://wiki.debian.org/BIND9 and
https://wiki.debian.org/CrossGrading

So, yeah, lots of that.  I'm also thinking for the
BALUG 2025-09-16 meeting, probably have
discussion topic of DNS & BIND (haven't put that
on the web site quite yet, but likely soon-ish).
May also join the SF-LUG meeting this Sunday.

Yep, lots of testing (and no, the balug VM is mostly production,
not testing, possibly excepting, e.g. domain tmp.balug.org)

Also, when I've gotten bored, among other things, I've solved
tough storage issues/challenges, notably for md and zfs.
Mostly just do loopback devices to sparse files,
and test away at it - not uncommonly figure out how to
fix various storage pickles folks manage to wedge themselves
into.
