If such an upgrade would land in oe-core scarthgap, users would have no choice. With LTS mixins they have a choice: take the upgrade, or not. If the issues don't affect them and they don't need new features, not taking the update is a valid choice. Anyway, you are welcome to prepare such an update for meta-lts-mixins. Alex
