> Postgres 17.0 has been out for a bit and ...

No. It's been released in September 2024. That's not "quite a bit".

Now as to why people aren't all on 17 and not even on 16 yet, here's an acronym for you: LTS [1]

Debian 11 Bullseye is the current LTS. It came out in 2021.

PostgreSQL doesn't have a long term support policy [1]. They release a new version around this time every year, and support it for about 5 years.

They didn't say "quite a bit" (long time), they said "a bit" (short time).

Debian doesn't have LTS and non-LTS.

Debian has Stable. That's it.
