Leon, Ken and all

I wonder whether the Upgrading documents should say upgrade to the final/latest release of the source version before upgrading to the (final/latest) release of the target version. For example, if one upgrades 4.1 LTS to 4.3 today, it means going from 4.1.14[+] to 4.3.8[+].

BTW, the Upgrading documents describe upgrading to that version (target), not from that version (source)! But the first line in every version puzzlingly says, This page explains in detail how to upgrade Moodle.

But there are things like competitions. The quiz is a versatile instrument, we can't draw a line between correct and wrong applications. I mean, if quizzes are not designed for that, then stand for it. Telling others what they are doing is wrong is the wrong approach.
