It is highly recommended to always run your production server on a supported release. Risks arising from not staying on a supported version include; but are not limited to, sudden downtime due to 3rd party wallet provider API change or 0-day vulnerability discovery. GENERAL BYTES can provide a fix in such situations via a new patch, but only for currently supported releases.
