[...] Upstream, I want to keep pushing on what we referred to as "skip-level upgrades" which would be something akin to embedding just the routines needed to upgrade data structures for earlier versions into each later version. The "fast-forward upgrades" we worked out (where you at least don't need to start any services on the intermediate versions) is certainly an improvement, but not a desirable end state in my opinion. Granted, from a Debian perspective, this would be akin to upgrading from buster to bookworm without installing bullseye's packages along the way. Not as vast a collection of software albeit, but still hundreds of projects which need upgrading and need to be able to "skip" between arbitrary numbers of intermediate releases, so not trivial either. -- Jeremy Stanley
