Exactly my recent point about branching code. I'm part of a 2-man 
programming effort (lest we get into a capacity discussion), and 
branching our code is REQUIRED- there's absolutely no floating old 
versions that never get fixed. Our clients would run for the hills if 
we told them they had to upgrade to a new feature release and introduce 
new bugs in order to fix their old.

How many bugs that are just being fixed in 2.3 cropped up in 2.1 or 
earlier? Every single one of those has alienated customers, because 
their original license for 2.1 or earlier will never deliver for them.

How many people here would be ecstatic if there was a 2.1.8 floating 
around with all of the bug fixes of 2.3 and none of the new features?
