Please don't tell people to do that unless they understand the implications!

Doing the above will get your system from the LXD LTS branch (2.0.x) to
the LXD feature branch. Downgrading isn't possible, so once someone does
that, there's no going back.

The LXD LTS branch (2.0.x) is supported for 5 years and only gets
bugfixes and security updates. This is typically recommended for
production environments where new features are considered a risk rather
than benefit.

The LXD feature branch (currently at 2.14) is updated monthly, is only
supported until the next release is out and will receive new features
which may require user intervention to setup after upgrade.
