I'm not sure it got out of hand, just discussed the current reality, and why it differs from your current expectations. That is not the same as saying it doesn't need to change. Check for updates has never covered releases, only patches. There is a second notification mechanism that covers releases. There is no current way to trigger that in a way that reflects two different release strands (LTS and quarterly). We decided not to trigger the notification for feature releases on LTS releases, but you can at least lay the blame for suggesting that, and for not adding the notification for 12.0 when 12.1 was released, at my door. I'm still unsure whether it's the right approach. There are pros and cons to doing so, at least until we rethink how the inherited code behaves here.
