- Why?
The community of people that do Moodle software is MUCH LARGER than you, dear maintainers, of the Moodle core project.
There is a serious problem of adjunct Moodle software—that software is targeting old Moodle versions.
My installation is running 404. And I can't upgrade to 405 because most plugins I need don't support it yet... let alone 500.
EVEN THE MOODLE TEAM"S OFFICIALS PROJECTS [ARE STUCK ON 2-MAJOR-VERSIONS AGO COMPATIBILITY](https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-docker/blob/25102ac86e05e1695010e4ee29b1c4fd3be588eb/README.md?plain=1#L30).
Asking people to accept a one-line PR [is too much of a hassle](https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-docker/pull/305).
And the solution is simple: don't require people to do ANYTHING when upgrades happen, just support a `MOODLE_STABLE` branch, and CI tools can automatially test and validate against it as new versions release.
