I might not be understanding the content of https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/firewalls/bulletin-c25-743178.html, or maybe I'm overlooking something.
The documented schedule seems to indicate that code revisions released in the H1 of a calendar year would be designated as XLTR or LTR. However it appears that nothing has been designated as XLTR or LTR since 7.0 was designated XLTR which was released in May of '21. I've reviewed the release notes for 7.1 through 7.4 and I've not caught a designation in those release's documents. Or, has Cisco abandoned the guidance of this document?
I ask because if I can avoid a major revision upgrade for 2-4 years, I would prefer to go that route and thus deploy a new firewall with the most recent XLTR or LTR (depending on the projected end of software maintenance.) We're already 18 months away from 7.0 end of software maintenance, EoSW, (based on the documents timelines expressed and 7.0's release date) and nothing else since has received Cisco's XLTR or LTR designation.
Thanks.
