I like the current system because it follows the Principle of Least
Surprise.  When I'm installing bugfixes I don't want my software to be
unexpectedly upgraded to a completely different version.  There are all
kinds of situations where that may not be what I want.  Even Microsoft
follows this logic -- if I go to the Office Updates site, I may get a
new service pack for Office 2003, but I won't find that my system has
suddenly been upgraded to Office 2007. :)
