> Postgres 17.0 has been out for a bit and ... No. It's been released in September 2024. That's not "quite a bit". Now as to why people aren't all on 17 and not even on 16 yet, here's an acronym for you: LTS [1] Debian 11 Bullseye is the current LTS. It came out in 2021.

They didn't say "quite a bit" (long time), they said "a bit" (short time).

PostgreSQL doesn't have a long term support policy [1]. They release a new version around this time every year, and support it for about 5 years. [1] https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/ https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/

Debian doesn't have LTS and non-LTS. Debian has Stable. That's it.

    This does not contradict what I said. Every Debian release is (and will be) an LTS release.
