[ trimming CC and sending to the bug number ] Hello.
For a long time I used to think like you, Otto, that supporting upgrades which skip releases would be "nice". It was Steve Langasek who finally gave me a good argument against that: By encouraging or supporting that, we would be sending the wrong message to our users, namely, that it's something that they could try to see if they have luck, when in fact it's something we would much prefer nobody to do for the reasons stated by Chris here: > I also want to point out > that any intent of not-not-supporting skip-upgrades will demand > users support for them, and by extension cause an explosion of > untested upgrade scenarios. Indeed. The number of possible upgrade paths is almost infinite. So, I also think this is not a good idea. Thanks.
