Need to upgrade from 15.1.4 should we go to 16 or 17?

We are currently running version 15.1.4 and we are about to upgrade. I'm thinking we need to just bump up to either 16 or 17 at this point. Are there any concerns or reasons why we should maybe choos...

    Hi SteveEason , I wouldn't recommend the 17.0 release and wait for 17.1

    The .1 signifies that it is a Long Term Support release (as per https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K5903)

    There are a lot of factors that can affect this but I would broadly recommend considering 16.1.3. You can upgrade directly from 15.1.4

    Of course, be sure to check release notes and test upgrades using Lab Editions to minimize any issues that may arise.

I suspected this to be the case, but thought I should ask just in case. We will proceed with a 16.1.3 upgrade until the 17.1 is released. Thanks for your input.
