I can both live with it (as I have been doing for years) and still =
complain! :)

It seems obvious to me that going from FINAL to FINAL versions should be =
possible, if not encouraged, and that supporting the FINAL version for =
maybe a year -- or if we're really lucky two -- isn't really helping =
anyone.

The counter to not having the resources to maintain version support =
longer is to slow version releases, not to force a faster upgrade =
treadmill on everyone.
