It will probably be updated at some stage, but I wouldn't bet on it
happening until the newer versions have had a good round of testing in
newer releases.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 2.6.17 make it into a Dapper update after
Edgy has six or twelve months in the real world to smooth out any rough
edges, for example.
