Hmm, you are wrong again... I guess you are too young in this Unix/Linux world. I don't know about any Unix system which goes through the way you are describing. We have systems with service packs, patched, build ID greater than release build, but major release number is always without touch. Many packages takes version from /etc/mandrake-release, many commercial programs are build for exact version of release, etc. It will be also a headache for users if they will be forced to upgrade to the latest version because all packages reguires 9.2.1... R.V.
