Security issues. LTS support is a thing, and not just for JDKs. Customers really, really want versions of tools and libraries they don't have to upgrade, but that are supported when something does come up. And when a security issue does come up, they want a drop in replacement that fixes that one bug **and nothing else**. They want a patch on the old release, not a new release that deprecates 32 methods and classes, changes the behavior of 5 other methods, and requires them to recompile their code and update seven other dependencies. Customers hate being pushed into new versions when they're not ready to migrate or don't see any personal benefit from the "improvements". -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elh...@ibiblio.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
