Installation instructions for HAProxy
=====================================
-HAProxy 3.2 is a long-term supported version, which means that it will get
-fixes for bugs as they are discovered till around Q2 2030 and will not receive
-new features. This version is suitable for general deployment as it is expected
-to receive less frequent updates than regular stable branches which have an odd
-digit in the minor version number. New users are encouraged to use long-term
-supported versions such as the ones provided by their software vendor, Linux
-distribution, or by a trusted package maintainer. Experienced users who manage
-a fleet of load balancers are encouraged to deploy at least one node with the
-latest weekly development version to get familiar with upcoming changes and
-possibly detect unwelcome changes or bugs before the release. This is also a
-great way to get new features implemented exactly as desired.
+This is a development version, so it is expected to break from time to time,
+to add and remove features without prior notification and it should not be used
+in production, unless you're an experienced user and are willing to follow
+weekly updates. If you are not used to build from sources or if you are not
+used to follow updates then it is recommended that instead you use the packages
+provided by your software vendor or Linux distribution. Most of them are taking
+this task seriously and are doing a good job at backporting important fixes.
If for any reason you would prefer a different version than the one packaged
for your system, you want to be certain to have all the fixes or to get some
