From a version numbering point of view this is a downgrade (2.17.0 -> 2.16.x). However the latest commit for version 2.17.0 is from March 2019 and no further minor release happened after 2.17.0. This version is EOL. 2.16.x though is still actively maintained as a long term release, hence security and stability fixes are still being backported, including compatibility with upcoming compiler releases.
