Weird indeed!<p>&gt; Level 4 and 5 updates are not recommended unless they bring solutions to issues you&#x27;re facing<p>What&#x27;s a level 4 update? And how do I know if it solves an issue I&#x27;m facing? I haven&#x27;t got the faintest idea what they are talking about and I dare say I&#x27;m an experienced user otherwise. What could my in-laws possibly do with that information?<p>&gt; Upgrade for a reason<p>&gt; &quot;If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it&quot;.<p>So don&#x27;t upgrade it is. Will then bugs continue to be fixed to my system? Will there be timely security fixes? As an end user, I only want things not to break.<p>&gt; Should you decide to upgrade to 17.2&#x27;s recommended kernel you can do so<p>So not only are you encouraged not to upgrade, but to mix kernel versions as well. Not helpful. Their users must run an awful lot of combinations.<p>I think I&#x27;ll pass, again. But thanks for digging this up! It does indeed look like the project is moving forward, and looks a lot improved. There is still room for an easy-to-use Debian for end users, which Ubuntu managed to be for a number of years.
