[keycloak-user] Upgrading is a giant pain

[Dean Peterson]

I no longer pull down masters because the releases have been working for
me.  The documentation says I should be able to upgrade from beta versions
to newer releases.  This latest problem happened even when I was trying to
go from 1.2.0.Beta3 to 1.2.0.Final.  Since that did not work, I waited a
while hoping a later version would improve the situation.  People often do
what they are not supposed to.  Expecting people to only upgrade from Final
release to Final release seems like wishful thinking and may lead to
unhappy customers, even if they are wrong.
