[support] Upgrade version jumping

[neil at esl-lounge.com]

As far as I understood it:

going from 5.6 to 5.11 shouldn't cause any problems.

if you have 5.6 and you want to go to 6.3, it's best to first upgrade to
the latest 5.x version before jumping up to 6.3. Whether you also need to
install 6.0 first is a gray area. I think going 5.6 - 5.14 - 6.3 is fine
(if we consider 5.14 the latest 5 flavor, which I think it is at the
moment)
