And you draw this conclusion because?
Which law of nature prohibits updating the desktop in an update
release?
To be fair there was something of a mess in Solaris 9 after two
incompatible versions of GNOME shipped. Recommended patch clusters
became difficult or impossible from GNOME (which version to patch?) and
there were copies of Mozilla and friends which might or might not
install and run depending on which of the two GNOME packages you had.
So while feature upgrades are good, it makes it more important that
packages are upwardly compatible. Which has not always been the case
for things like GNOME. Or that there's some other mitigation scheme to
deal with this.
