The linked forum post has an FAQ entry, this was a carefully weighted decision with many factors playing a role, including having more staff available to manage any potential release fall-out on our side. And we're in general pretty much self-sufficient for any need that should arise, always have been that way and provide enterprise support offerings that back our official support guarantees if your org would have the need for that.

Finally, we provide bug and security updates for the previous stable release for over a year, so no user has any rush to upgrade now, they can safely choose any time between now and until August 2026.
