This comment is so out of touch with how Linux distributions work. This is the package most Debian users probably should be using, unless they absolutely require one of the newer versions.
That's exactly why people (including me) tend to like LTS - no critical changes till next release. Upgrades for security with minimal surprises. I go further and often use unattended-upgrades on my Ubuntu fleet. I don't wanna version bumping until I explicitly ask for it as much as possible.
In two patch versions? With minor version unchanged?
