Looking at their release history [1], the upstream release cadence is
once a month.

Assuming the freeze takes about three months to complete (quite
optimisticly), will upstream be interested in feedback and bug reports
from 3 releases ago? Maybe.

What about a year later? That would be 15 releases ago. I am not too
sure about it. They'll just ask you to use Anaconda [2], which is the
very first entry in their installation instructions.

Don't you think?
