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.
