In start9 you can decide whether to upgrade or not, regardless of the system.
However to have absolute freedom requires that you run the node software independently.

So I'm assuming the I'm version you listed support (or don't support) things like taproot, segwit etc etc..
Exactly.
There should be more education on what it means to upgrade a Bitcoin node.
On the other hand Bitcoin Core runs what I call a software dictatorship, because it stops supporting older versions so it is not "safe" to run older versions.
This way you are forced to always use the latest version with all the changes.
At least they should use a LTS scheme with certain long term versions, 10 years, like Red Hat for example.
Temporal Dominance, a different type of game where the buy in is temporal a bit of mechanics understanding.
Temporal orientation is a a skill, as when comprehending that everything longed happened, while for our yet to come understanding, the context is unknown, and thus must be fathomed, read or visualized, maybe even imagined, and by time, the skill masters.
Then how complex the synthesis or brute crushed outputs are processed to make sense to the stupid, a matter of engineering, ad cognitive e design, rather than generated verbal soup, although it’s interesting to as well compare the various components behavior fed by the same synthesis component.
Too complex configuration and voila, almost incomprehensible compared to directives for what it goes, as this lacks those possibilities.
wait bitcoin Core is not backward compatible? meaning the Satoshi version won't work all at?
The explanation is long, better read this article to understand what happens.
got it. so the taproot now is another segwit story of "we are not forcing you but you may not fully function if not upgrade to latest" yes?
I could not answer correctly because it is something more complex, although it is as you say, the problem is that the Bitcoin Core team does not maintain older versions of Bitcoin Core without the new features, therefore gradually force you to migrate to new versions because if a security flaw arises in an old version is not remedied.
I believe #[4] cares most about backward compatibility on nostr, what's your take on the bitcoin core sir?
