I can see the point of having a "stable" kernel, but these freezes are mostly random. Back in its days, Squeeze shipped with R14A (not B). That's not stable, it's just a random cutoff. It means that whoever did the package did not even know what A and B used to mean in Erlang releases.
That's not something you can put in production.
If you look here https://github.com/erlang/otp/releases you'll see that - even on Jessie - 17.1 is unfortunately way behind.
The fact that erlang.org does not list minor releases at all probably doesn't help. One can go to erlang.org and think that 18.0 is the latest...
Never again.
