Thanks for your reminder, I just read the page
https://www.xfce.org/about/releasemodel.

IMO, the called "stable release" just like LTS, the development release
doesn't mean it's a buggy verion. So if it's not suitable to upgrade the
original definition, we may provide it as an alternative packages(e.g.
thunar@4.17.0 vs thunar@4.16.2).
