yes, this is like that… too far away and our process is: we maintain current 
stable and we develop in alpha.
Of course, we know some people will take some time to migrate until new stables 
(if they migrate at all), but we considered this kind of work is far from our 
capabilities. However, we create PharoPro precisely to assist in this kind of 
issues: http://consortium.pharo.org/web/pharopro 
<http://consortium.pharo.org/web/pharopro>
but yes, this is not free because we need to spend time on it (also, is a way 
we have to continue sustaining pharo progress :P)

cheers, 
Esteban
