Agreed, in fact it seemed quite deliberate and sinister, and in line
with the general RedHat approach, which seems to aim to sell people the
new versions when they upgrade. This was, more than anything else, what
prompted me to switch to Debian. The upgrading is easier, more rational,
and this kind of rubbish just doesn't seem to happen.
