Your {{ box_name }} will receive security updates, important fixes and
some selected features with regular software updates. However, to provide
a long software life cycle for {{ box_name }}, the entire operating system
will receive a major distribution update every two years or so. This will
bring in major features and changes. Sometimes, old features will stop
working. Please consult the <a href="{{ dist_upgrade_url }}">manual</a> for
expected changes and transitions during a distribution upgrade. If you
dislike these changes, you can keep each distribution for at least
<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/LTS">5 years</a> before updating.
