(2022), effectively. Also, this is a very broad generalization; and people who aren't upgrading with every point release (even with a few releases' lag) probably have a reason for that. For example, I have multiple versions of Python compiled from source, but the system uses 3.10 because that's what my distro provides. (When I update, I'll get 3.12 automatically; but I understand from experience that the system Python is not suitable for development.)
