Also just found this from November 2020 - [Upgrade ends with FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP](https://meta.discourse.org/t/upgrade-ends-with-failed-to-bootstrap/170326?replies_to_post_number=2).

But I have to admit I don’t know exactly what it means to “follow our default release channel.” I assume that upgrading via the Web UI is the “default release channel.”
