This is *not* the only such prediction for a previous release, by far,
just the one I found quickest. *All* releases seem to have the
predictions that they are useless, should be skipped because the next
release will be so much better in way X or Y, etc.; I think the
question
of how widely used a release series turned out to be in practice
may be
relevant when deciding after how many releases the branch is
closed, but
simply dropping a release series after the branch is created is pretty
much always a mistake.
Well... Please don't forget that in esp. the Linux distributors are
actually
what one would call *revision junkees*. Not all decissions taken by
them seem
to be based on technical meritt alone. And then there are still thoes
huge
patches included by them before shipping, hiding behind a familar
sounding version
number.
