Albrecht, let's not quibble over terminology, which at the end of the day isn't very important anyway. In fact I agree with almost everything you said. However, read your own words above. If the motivation is to get users to do something, rather than to provide users with something, I don't feel that they'll be particularly likely to do it. I think users are motivated to upgrade when a new version provides new features, bug fixes and/or improved performance. I also think that the 3 new features mentioned form a pretty paltry list for a major release. Just my opinion.
