The boss has banned upgrading from one LTS to the next: - base system might upgrade OK but everything else atop it is risky - last round of trying blew up in his face and stuff broke wholesale - LTS are 2 (or 3?) years apart and the machines are usually due for upgrade replacement on that cycle anyway - this is a fast-changing devops environment when we usually rip the whole lot out and do it over every 2 years anyway to deal with changes in how the business is done and take advantage of new technology -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
