Bugfixes can be backported on request to the Nix version used in the latest NixOS release, which is announced in the [NixOS release notes](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/release-notes.html#ch-release-notes). Bugfixes can be backported on request to previous Nix releases.
We typically backport only as far back as the Nix version used in the latest NixOS release, which is announced in the [NixOS release notes](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/release-notes.html#ch-release-notes).
Backports never skip releases (if a feature is backported to `x.y`, it must also be available in `x.(y+1)`;
This ensures that upgrading from an older version with backports is still safe and no backported functionality will go missing.
