Skipping a release has never been supported, plenty of maintainer
scripts and lower level tooling only handle migration steps for
the subsequent release.
It also doesn't make LTS releases moot, since it's they among
other things they enable to deploy a setup to a baremetal server
through the typical 4-5 years lifetime.
