Not necessarily: unwillingness to upgrade and the freedom to not upgrade is why the time periods are so long. In the commercial world, the rule of thumb is that the slower users upgrade every three years, because the hardware turns over in roughly that period. Instead of the months I usually work with, large-systems and linkers folks tend to support old versions of things for multiple hardware cycles, with complaints in the current, forced user intervention in the second and obsolescence in the third if no-one or note enough people scream bloody murder in the first two. --dave
