There should be a support level that says "it is what it is, because it is exactly what we get from the community. We won't fork and make our own changes here, but we will ship newer versions as they are developed by the community". Of course, to be able to easily ship the new stuff, the interfaces need to be marked as Volatile so that existing customers don't complain that we changed something out from under them, but Volatile is not sufficient to describe the above support policy... -John
