Changelog ;-) that tell's what you miss. ;-) 

And no, what im saying is to test before you roll out a new 
major release to "any" production server. I only got to testing 
on a test server atm, because im having back problems,
an old injury is bugging me because of that so im less behind pc. 

What i showed is the general path i follow, 
i use it for years now and i concider that safe, but im not you,
My network is different, so setup a way that fits your environment.

Im eager to goto 4.15 also because it has things i need, just.. 
The bigger the changes compaired to previous version, the better
you should test. Thats all i can say. 

+, 4.14.8 is building currenlty, i just uploaded Ubuntu Focal Fossa. 
Buster 4.14.8 will be online later today, thats currently building the last
arch. 
Bullseye 4.14.8 will be online tomorrow, 


So far, 

Greetz, 

Louis
