Comment (by Dreamsorcerer):

 > A reminder that WordPress only supports the most recent version

 Again, this is the Debian-managed version of WordPress. Important security
 updates are backported, thus providing a long-term stable platform
 (something upstream WP does not provide).

 The problem is still a serious issue for those it affects. Why ignore all
 the available updates to a plugin and pretend there are no updates
 available? This just results in a broken user experience. With Yoast in
 particular, the user will never (even after many years) see an update is
 available...
