No. It's been released in September 2024. That's not "quite a bit".

Now as to why people aren't all on 17 and not even on 16 yet, here's an acronym for you: LTS [1]

Debian 11 Bullseye is the current LTS. It came out in 2021.

Debian doesn't have LTS and non-LTS.

Debian has Stable. That's it.

This does not contradict what I said. Every Debian release is (and will be) an LTS release.

Why does everyone run ancient Postgres versions?
