Correct. You can go from 4.last to 5.current without needing to attempt
5.0 in between.
There *might* have been some differences though with earlier versions to
4.x. I think there was a mid-version migration done somewhere but I
don't recall if it was the 2.6.x or 3.x series. (note, versioning
changed with 3.x!) However, even then, I think the code remained and you
weren't required to use a specific point release to successfully upgrade.

Well, perhaps, but assuming a dev put code in version X.00 to migrate an older

In other words, if 5.00 has migration code to convert from 4.x, surely that
code is still in 5.12.
I think that must be true. Otherwise the standard advice, which is to
upgrade to last sub-version of each major version (2.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x)
would make no sense.
