If 2.2 was working, why did Linus work on 2.4? What is 2.5 for?
My infant son is content suckling his mother, why should he be weaned?
Seriously mattg,
Although Linux is not as vlunerable to lifecycle issues as commercial
operating systems, there are limits. As hardware advances, it just isn't
practacle to upgade antiquated releases of code - support for the new
hardware goes into new releases. It makes good sense to upgrade the
underlying OS and keep things current and take advantage of hardware advances
as well as advances in the underlying OS (memory mgmt, file system support,
etc...)
For your short sightedness, I must assume one of:
- your applications are greener than you and won't live to see tomorrow
- you have a cache of DPS-6 hard drives and will NEVER upgrade - PICK on a
Honeywell is they way, the light, and the glory.
I hate to break it to you, mattg, but tomorrow will come for some of us. If
what you have created will never grow and never change then I have pity.
