But I'm concerned about getting stranded. I'm now on 1.4.24.1, but I'm
considering going to 16.0.9 _before_ I have to. That means I can
always go back to 1.4.x before it's EOL if I have any problems. It
seems to me that more and more security/bug  issues will be dealt with
faster in the 1.6.x releases.
