There are no strong claims. The other good reasons are to manage the updates manually as has been so far via instructions in the errata pages, saving some effort and empty discussions. That might also help learn in the process, beneficial to the users following stable on more than one system. > I personally am not going to spend a second working on binary updates > until I know there are 20+ other developers also dedicated to making > it happen, and once it starts happening -- keeps happening forever. That's exactly the idea, not do it or do it right and keep doing the task. So the discussion is to probably best put these upgrade details in the upgrade guide, not in the migration guide in the meantime. Without delegating resources until deemed necessary and no need to state explicitly "they have no binary upgrades" on the migration guide.
