    Moving to R17

    Hello catiajim, My comments: 2. OK, you submit your problems based on a R16 certification, but you have no way to receive fixes on R14 anymore. In the case of a critical problem, don't you think you take quite some risks? I understand that migrating to R16 or R17 could be expensive, but I...
