Is this to fix vulnerabilities. I believe you don't need to upgrade it, just patch against the findings. Interesting view on it here.

Unless there is another reason to upgrade.

Updating Apache server

So, client co. has a very out of date Apache installation currently running on v2.4.6 (circa 2013). It's supporting a high profile business process. They need to get it updated to the current release, 2.4.29.

Does anyone know if a direct upgrade is possible or will it require multiple incremental upgrades / reinstallation?
