I think the community pressure played a part, hence the recent changes to the roadmap(removing the dates).
I would have preferred to use V11 for as long as we needed and get a stable update for V12. The business is starting to see a boost, and it's only a matter of time before one of the backups or staging clones fails 🍻
SolidNetwork The only weird behavior I noticed during the upgrade, was that you really need to stick to the guide above and do not follow echoed commands that appear in the command line, as in my case those should be executed later on in the guide.
This got a lot of people.. I think we can add to this message here,
We have this : "WARNING
It is very important that these steps are followed in the exact order. Most issues with the upgrade process come from steps being missed."
Prompts saying 'do this' during an upgrade are deadly. A little more notice not to input any prompts directed from the terminal and ONLY follow the guide would be ideal. When you say this "Most issues with the upgrade process come from steps being missed.", not following what the terminal tells you could be confused with exactly that, missing a step.
