[GNC] Quotes again?

[Brad Morrison]

Hi Dale/GNUCash users, 

If you do not trust the owners and/or maintainers of the software you
use to manage it for/with you, you may not want to use that software
over the long term. 

Linux Mint 21.3 was released in January 2024, so by not using the
current version, you are basically telling Clem/Linux Mint that all of
the work that he/they have done in the last 14 months is not valuable
enough to use.
