I am not sure but I do not think so many people are willing to update their systems twice a year. For me, I have sticked to 9.1 for about two years and just I shifted to 10 recently. I believe people having similar ideas like me are not a small number. We only update our systems when major relseases are available. Of course we may update certain software before this kind main update. So, I suggest that, if possible, Mandrake can set up a kind of flexible membership other than the existing bronze, silver, gold ones. I mean people can contribute to Mandrake whatever number (surely of money) they want, what they get may be limited download numbers (e.g., 5 or 10 times a year) or nothing at all. I believe some people would like this one. To be honest after downloading 9.1 I planned to contribute some to Mandrake, but when I found the least is $60, I gave up. Man, I must trust me $60 is not a small number for a student.
