@trialanderror I get where you’re coming from, but I agree with Tom that this for free software would be too much of a nightmare to do LTS support on. I mean, there isn’t even a support team. I’m glad they don’t spend a ton of time going back to old codebases and backporting it. The installer does a good job of not blowing stuff up and the db schema typically upgrades fine too.
I say “good” because it isn’t totally transparent about what’s going on, so you do actually have to be a bit familiar with the upgrade process to make sure that you don’t do anything that could lead to loss of data.
