There are _always_ new goodies that folks will want from newer releases (see, e.g., [v1.7](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/what-are-the-current-plans-regarding-a-new-lts-julia-version/63501)). That’s a good thing. That’s something you explicitly sacrifice in choosing to use any LTS of any software.

Yes, many packages choose to use Julia’s LTS marker to drive their own development practices. But that’s also why Compat.jl exists.
