   How non-recommended is to downgrade from a dev version of friendica to a stable one? The @yunohost developers pushed an update recently to the Friendica package and by mistake they labeled it as stable but the update was taken from the dev branch. So people updated to the dev branch...now they are trying to push a fix and in the fix to force the instances that upgraded to the dev, to revert back to stable.
   
   Can you please tell me if this is a good idea? I want to make them aware if not. Thanks!

     @tio @utzer @yunohost It is quite bad. We only have an "update forward" feature for the database structure for example, so any rolling back of the code could make it out of sync with the database, which might create more instability.

     @utzer @hypolite @yunohost Ah interesting so maybe is better to skip this stable branch anyway. But yeah I was wondering if it is a bad idea to go from a new dev branch to an old stable branch, to make the ynh devs aware.

     @tio not at all suggested! Might work for the special point of Dev branch, but not sure.
     
     Also the Dev branch now is much better than the stable branch, @hypolite said the current stable is kind of buggy (I rephrased it, don't remember the exact words).
     
     So better pick the current Dev state I think.

     @utzer @hypolite @yunohost Yeah so basically they should not even try to do that. Sounds like a bad plan. Probably wait for the next stable release and update from dec dev to dec stable if you release in december.

     @tio @utzer @yunohost Yes, the update feature will run all the updates in order from the version you were up until the version you installed.

     @utzer @hypolite @yunohost Speaking of that is it ok to skip a stable update and update to the next one? Like I have skipped 1 stable update (latest one) and I'd like to update to the december one. Will that be ok? I
