The way to phrase this consistent with our branch status terminology
is:

    We only perform upgrade testing between the current source
    contents of adjacent Maintained or Development status branches
    (not Extended Maintenance or Unmaintained status branches, nor
    specific tags such as End Of Life versions). This means that the
    branch *prior* to any branch Grenade tests must be in a
    Maintained status, and so we do not perform upgrade testing on
    the oldest Maintained status branch.
