I'm not surprised at all. Our product holds data - and that's an
extremely valuable resource to end users (e.g. companies). Nobody wants
to risk problems and/or suffer long downtimes. Our complete lack of an
in-place upgrade is what is really making us do the extra effort to support
old versions. Thankfully, it looks like we've finally started down the
road to a serious attempt at an upgrade process.
For what it's worth, I think our release history and current necessarily
ad-hoc and somewhat arbitrary release process makes it difficult to make
anything but the vaguest statement on dates, and I'd rather we didn't.
