Yes. as always… until all free software releases and security bug
disclosure synchronize with our own release calendar :)

If you want to use Tails, yes, sure. Anything older is affected by
severe publicly known security issues.

For most upgrade paths, we provide automatic upgrades, that are much
smaller to download.

One thing to keep in mind is that "the basics" has no universally
valid meaning. E.g. for some people, good localization into some
specific language, or availability of some accessibility tool, is part
of the basics. For others, it's not.
