I'm not sure this is accurate.

I'm using 2.6.21. IIRC there's at least one other user still on 2.*, and 
there are sporadic requests from people for instructions on upgrading, 
whether from 2.* or something later.

I haven't upgraded because it does everything I (currently) want and "if 
it ain't broke don't fix it". However I am well aware that if something 
goes wrong I can't expect the devs to replicate, diagnose and fix: the 
answer will be "get onto 5.whatever and see if it goes away". And that is 
entirely reasonable: I would expect the same if it were a paid-for 
product.

Of course if I switch to Linux when Windows10 goes out of support I 
probably will come up to date with Gnucash.
