So you answer them and they will know, this is how support works. You'll
always have people who don't know what is ctrl+c for when it exists for
the same functionality in several software over several years. And you
will explain it over and over. Don't think that writing it somewhere
will be enough, that won't be read, we all know it.

Yes, but you keep thinking on the same model: stable vs unstable when
both are stable :) change your mind by thinking older in time = more
bugfixes, newer in time = more features but more bugs.

Who do you think? :) the users of course, each bug is triaged and will
be fixed one day or another and will find his place in the current
version, and will be backported in the older one still in life if there
is absolutely no risk or it it's a regression.
Kind regards
