Just be aware that 2.4 was the planned maintenance release series - but
that is now being dropped and maintenance release switched to 2.5 when
that comes out.
If I understand correctly this was a change decided on based on a desire
for HSM features available in 2.5.
I believe 2.5 is also not as backwards compatible with as many versions
as 2.4. I get the feeling that 2.4 will be viable for a while yet even
after 2.5 is released, but that's just a guess.
Lustre releases in my opinion are kind of in a strange state right now.

We are at 2.1.6. So, this means our next step up should be to 2.4.1,

that correct? Yes, I would have preferred to have heard such an
announcement via this list. I would assume the upgrade path/procedure
is well documented?
