A few small comments:

+considers performing minor upgrades to be less risky than continuing to
+run superseded minor versions.</em>

I think "superseded minor versions" could be unnecessarily complicated =
for
non-native speakers, I consider myself fairly used to reading english =
but still
had to spend a few extra (brain)cycles parsing the meaning of it in this
context.

+ We recommend that users always run the latest minor release associated

Or perhaps "current minor release" which is the term we use in the table =
below
on the same page?
