New releases means new features and bug fixes (trivial as they may be sometimes) VWV. From a highly productive feature to a simple visual effect, I personally want them. If you're fine with what you have (ex: you don't mind lack of AA or lack of sticky windows, things you don't use, etc...) then don't upgrade. > I'm happy running an 'obsolete' 4.6.2, nobody will move me from it. > Upgrading makes happy only the hardware vendors. This is a natural cycle. I want Xft support, I want Xinerama support, I want that CD writer functionality, I want those nicer icons, I want those neat transparent title bars, etc... It makes a lot of us happy too. I'm still waiting on some features for PekWM (http://www.PekWM.org) that are only in CVS, I am itching to upgrade next release. In other words, this is a bikeshed :) -- +-----------------------------------+ | Samy Al Bahra | samy@kerneled.com | |-----------------------------------| | B3A7 F5BE B2AE 67B1 AC4B | | 0983 956D 1F4A AA54 47CB | |-----------------------------------| | http://www.kerneled.com | +-----------------------------------+
