Feature complete and robust is important parts, but not for user.
I completely disagree. For most users this is the ONLY important part.
Ok, let me a bit rephrase second part of my sentence: " but not good reason for user to get/use new major version."
I for example tend to think "oh no, what have they introduced now" when I get bombarded with ever-changing stuff. Basically, that's why it took me a long time to make the transition from KDE3 to KDE4, and why I abandoned KDE altogether when they dumped KDE 5 Plasma upon me.
Users value stability more than anything else. Don't forget that all those supposedly little changes add up, and every time a part of the know-how about those things get wasted because they change all the time.
Sorry, I get totally lost. Here you trying to convince us to use old libstorage? For me it looks like you trying to say that doing complete redesign satisfy users that want stability? Or I miss something? If I use your example you say that you will switch from KDE3 to KDE4 because KDE4 have same stability like KDE3 and it is somehow more robust then KDE3?
Only a handful of geeks welcome change for the sake of changing. Any you are probably familiar with the old statement that 80% of all users never get beyond using 20% of all the features (which might be slightly different 20% from one user to the next, however). Adding even more stuff is just additional stuff to get lost in.
Here against it looks like you are trying to convince anyone just to not use libstorage-ng. If it is same, they will upgrade just for "sake of changing". What I am trying to say, is to convince exactly this type of users that by nature do not want to upgrade with something that is not just change for the change, but that really provide them some value like already mentioned nicer integration with modern hardware ( ssd and spin disk combination ), better guided setup, better UX, etc.
Kind regards
