Hi,

Some years ago, I had a problem with understanding when updates are
possible:

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/slurm-devel/CNu9iDbQl7U

As then, the documentation says

  Slurm permits upgrades of up to two major or minor updates
  (e.g. 14.03.x or 14.11.x to 16.08.x) without loss of jobs or other
  state information

I still read this as "two major or *two* minor updates", even though I
know that's not what's meant.  I think it would be clearer to write:

  Slurm permits upgrades between any two versions whose major release
  numbers differ by two or less (e.g. 14.11.x or 15.08.x to 16.05.x)
  without loss of jobs or other state information

I have updated Slurm a few times already and I am a native English
speaker, but I still stumble over the current wording.

Cheers,

Loris
