   Anyone willing to be a long term beta tester should consider current for   
   non critical machines which you do not depend upon too much.   
      
   The fact that Lew is still sticking to 14.2 indicates a fear that an   
   upgrade would break something important. On current there is a risk that   
   breaking updates can come any day.   
      
   Yes, it was more than three years since  Slackware 15.0 was released   
   (2022-02-03), but it is still a supported version of Slackware which gets   
   security updates and bug fixes. However, if you want to run Slackware   
   15.0 on some newer hardware you might need to replace the longterm 5.15   
   kernel.
