Agreed. Whether or not you force auto updating is totally orthogonal to whether or not you support old versions of the software.

  I don't think that's what orthogonal means. :) If I'm forcing you to upgrade, why on earth would I support older versions of the software?

    Because if you look at their version adoption chart there’s a long tail between release and propagation. They’re still either supporting older versions for some time or making the arbitrary decision to ignore those users who haven’t restarted to get the new version.

      Also it's perfectly possible to say "we'll only support latest + latest LTS" without forcing auto updates.
