I have started at SuSE on 1 March, 1999, so the first release I saw as
SuSE emp. was 6.1, and I had absolutely nothing to do even with that
release.

When you buy a car it is exactly the same - the same brand, same name,
same version number - but the manufacturers make it better if they can and
no one of the buyers of the first cars of that line asks for an upgrade.
After all, they got what they paid for, an xyz blabla (190 HP). Should
possible minor improvements be delayed instead? Excuse me, that's the life
cycle of _any_ product out there!!! As long as it's no substential change
like an essential bugfix, which will be made available to everyone, in the
upgrade directory, why not do it? Printing a new box or handbook anything
like that because of some minor upgrades that seem convenient? Who shall
pay for that? I don't see anything wrong here.
I repeat, I've nothing to do with the decision process, these are ideas
that I'd also have with out @suse.de From:-header.
