Hi Mike,

Well, I am subscribed to all the horde mailing lists that are relevant
to me - and always have been.  But I am not a developer, so not the
development list.

I have been putting off an OS upgrade because I am aware

And because I am not a developer I need a version of Horde that will
be as easy to install as the current git pull I have been using for
~10 years.

Once Horde LLC have settled on the minimum version, I will be able to
go ahead and update my OS/PHP versions.   For the time being I have
stopped the weekly cron doing the pull.  So the release of a new
stable version of Horde cannot come quick enough.

Regards

Simon
