Now, I must admit, I have learned something new. Never gave any
consideration to these releases: example: Pyro 17.0.3.

But now I understand: it has direct link with Ubuntu 17... Even, YOCTO
Pyro, as given example, can be substituted with Ubuntu 17.04?! Wow...

Every day in every way, I'm progressing more and more! ;-)

My question here is: how hard it is? Either to move/rebase complex
application and some system packages to Rocko (and rebase/revisit
APIs), either to back-port additional (security) packages from the
newer releases?!

Seems lot of hard work, considering both cases.
