Because that's what an Enterprise distribution means: stabiity. Security fixes are back-ported, bugs are fixed, etc., but as much as possible, new package versions are not shipped over the life of that level of the distribution. It saves everyone (except the distribution provider) a lot of hassle in terms of not having to certify a platform multiple times, not having strange application problems develop, and on and on. > Is there a list of products such as this that need to be considered for > upgrading after installing 10.2? No. Just install maintenance, but not on the starter system itself. That's intended to be an appliance that you don't have to mess with much. Install a new guest using the starter system as the installation source, and then put maintenance on _that_ system.
