What I see there: 11.3, 10.6, 9.6.13, 9.5.15, 9.4.21 The most recent releases: 11.3, 10.8, 9.6.13, 9.5.17, 9.4.22
Is this really drastically out of step, given that a new install, by default, would be 11.3?
I never said it was drastically out of step. However, those distributions listed on the "primary" section are expected to be fully up to date, not months out of date as is the case with some of those branches.
