<li> This is a major version release of s6. It is recommended to first stop
all your s6 services, then upgrade, then immediately restart your
supervision tree, then start your services again. Failure to do so
*will* cause issues if you're relying on s6-ftrigrd notifications
(which is the case, for instance, with services managed by
<a href="//skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/">s6-rc</a>). </li>
