As someone already pointed out, 'support' is an overloaded term. They
'support' upgrades the same way we 'support' upgrades - they provide an
upgrade mechanism for you to hang yourself with. As was clarified later,
the point is that they don't guarantee it will work, and in practice, it
doesn't work reliably enough for anyone doing anything really critical
to rely on it. And they don't.
