I would consider it "best practice" to somewhat try to stay up to date 
with recent yocto versions and plan for this from the beginning of your 
project.

What I mean is to have a "stable release" and a "next release" which is 
being used in your nightly builds and tests.

This will make it significantly easier to make version upgrades.

I am not sure what you mean by that?

Which versions make it easier/more difficult to support arm?

It's more a question of which chip/kernel/boot loader,...

Ssince you use a completely outdated and end of life version[1] it might 
require quite some effort to update, but through pain we learn ;)

[1] https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases

Which chip do you use?

Is it supported by an upstream kernel/boot loader?

Which (additional) layers do you use?

Are these layers supported by the same version as the Yocto version you 
want to move to?

How about your own recipes?

Are they compatible with upstream yocto?
