2.6.13 was released in 2016. While the user may not have engaged with the community actively over that time, I'd hesitate to refer to them as a "newbie."

Either you skip all updates until you have to, then it is a pain because you are way out of date and there may be no direct update path. Or you break working systems with updates you may not need right now and it is pain fixing things that weren't broken. The only guarantee is that it will be a pain either way.

If not, there is no reason to abandon a release that you are using successfully." I would disagree. I think it is better to keep all software current. You may not want new features in the current latest release, but down the road there may be a release with features you want. If your software is many versions out of date, updating is always harder.
