I think one reason for the new versioning scheme was to show that there
is only one supported version at a time.
There never was a 12.x series!  There were no "point releases".  There
is zero difference between upgrading 12.5 -> 12.6 as between 12.6 ->
13.  The only thing the "major" increment differentiated was new LTS,
which we no longer have anyway.

The main reason I proposed the version scheme change is that still
no-one understood it! :-)

yes exactly. There was no LTS anyway. There was only "latest", the version scheme change makes that more obvious.

I don't know the details how the module upgrades work. But having only
one catalog sounds like the simpler solution (i like simple).
Simple is per-release.  See what happened for PHP plugins here between
12.2 and 12.3 -
https://lists.apache.org/thread/bnk1dg8dcnq1bslq2dvs1grv5hvzgdtm  That
problem will reoccur.

how can this happen again without a concept of LTS? Can you give an example.

If a plugin maintainer upgrades a plugin and that upgrade causes it to only work on NB 13+. It should not be installable/upgradable in any EOL release before NB 13 - even if its in the same catalog.
