Upgrade version and pricing [was] Re: Fix it before moving ahead

[Marian Petrides]

If, in fact, 8.6 still has bugs which prevent it from functioning _as 
advertised_, probably yes. But at this point, this is pretty unlikely 
since the people who continue to use it are likely doing so because it 
has proved stable enough and full-featured enough to meet their needs.

I think the expectations delineated by Marc in his most recent post 
spells things out far better than I can do.  What he says is eminently 
reasonable...
