Ok, so there might be hope that it will share the code base with
11.0 :-)

You definitely do a lot with the service packs, also the latest hardware
drivers etc. But I guess for major upgrades like switching from tomcat 5.0
to 5.5 a SP isn't the right place... Not talking about the kernel features
like unionfs, gcc 3 -> 4  or (and that's often very important for our 
developers) a glibc upgrade. That's what breaks everything :-)

We do appreciate that, no question! But I still hope for a continued 
2-year release cycle. And if you know some of the guys at higher levels 
who make those decisions, feel free to forward them my email as a 
(hopefully appreciated :-)) customer feedback.
