1. cuda 12.6 is still perfectly valid, the link works, and 12.6 can be
installed no problem.
2. I didn't quit, but I don't particularly want to maintain a branch of
CUDA, hence I built a fixed version, never intending to update it. I
hoped that the build called simply "cudatoolkit" will be eventually
updated from 10 to 12, and beyond.
3. In the hindsight this seems like a mistake. What is really worth it,
like with most binary software, is to create a build per major version,
that is cudatoolkit-10, cudatoolkit-11, et cetera.

Some of my older GPUs are not supported by new cudatoolkits, and my
newer GPUs are not supported by older cudatoolkits. :(

In short, I suggest pinging the maintainer of the original cudatoolkit
to rename his build to cudatoolkit-10, and move on from there.
